The JavaScript guide that delivers!

JavaScript is the quickest, easiest way to build interactive Web pages. It's a tool useful to every Internet and intranet developer.

Jumping JavaScript delivers everything you need to get results immediately―including hundreds of script examples on CD-ROM, all designed for Windows 95, Macintosh, and UNIX. Even better, it is a comprehensive, well-indexed book―covering all the advanced techniques you need to become a world-class JavaScript developer.

Get started with the basics of the JavaScript language and scripting environment, including data types, variables, functions, operators, expressions and statements, debugging tips, and programming style. Next, discover JavaScript's powerful objects; learn how to create windows and documents, control and use history properties, embed images and Java code.

Jumping JavaScript contains detailed coverage of:

• Controlling scripts: JavaScript operators, testing for conditions, and creating loops.
• Creating links and active image areas.
• Working with system objects, including the String, Array, Date, and Math objects.
• Working with the Navigator, MimeType, and Plugin objects.
