It's inevitable, you know. Eventually we'll all sucumb to it. And the public will want it. They'll want to see it on your Web site. Of course I'm talking about Dynamic Web pages, Layers, and lots of JavaScript.
If you're using Netscape Communicator 4.0 or Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0, you've probably checked out some slick examples of what can be done with it. So, in that same vein, fire up one of those Web browsers and check out the Show. When you're done, come back to this page and get back to this review. When you're done oohing and ahhing, that is.
When it comes to JavaScript programmers, Nick Heinle is the top of the line. He's always been a step ahead of the latest trick, and even better, he's been sharing these tips with the rest of us all along. Now Nick's written a book, and he explains how he created the Show, among other things. He also talks about:
- how to control Windows (browser windows, not the OS)
- how to control frames
- forms, functions and arrays
- dynamic images
- designing for the browser--the one the client's using
- layers
- and of course dynamic HTML
Nick gives you examples and code (included in both the print version and on the included CD) for each of the topics he covers. If you're one of those people who like to do it all from scratch, you may not want to buy this book. For the rest of us, if you'd like to see some great Web effects and techniques, go out and grab a copy of this book...it's a keeper. Even if you're well into JavaScript, you'll still be able to pick up some new stuff.
