Synopsis

JavaScript is the language of the Web. It has an intuitive, accessible nature and is available with most modern browsers. JavaScript is used for making dynamic, interactive web pages - from form validation to creating games to dynamic menus - but its uses also go much further. Hardly a single commercial web page exists today that does not contain some JavaScript.

This second edition of Professional JavaScript provides comprehensive coverage of the JavaScript language, its syntax and uses. We look at the latest web browsers and web standards, and move on to examine practical techniques in the form of short examples and more in-depth and complex case studies. This book will focus entirely on the use of JavaScript within the web browser, since this is predominantly where it is used.

This book covers

Core JavaScript programming
Scripting browser objects
Working with multimedia
Web standards, including XML, CSS, & W3C DOM
Dynamic HTML
Debugging techniques
Regular expressions and form validation
Real world case studies
The ECMAScript Edition 4 proposal

Synopsis

JavaScript is one of the most widely used scripting languages in the world. Hardly a single commercial web page exists today that does not contain at least some JavaScript. It has an intuitive, accessible nature and is available pre-installed and free with most modern browsers. Today, it is seen as an integral part of web development toolsets, and was an early contributor to the fast growth of the Web and the Internet. This new edition of Professional JavaScript provides comprehensive coverage of the JavaScript language, its syntax and uses, as well as many related technologies. Covering the latest web browsers and web standards, this book teaches the key techniques developers need to get the most out of this language. This book is aimed at: core JavaScript programmers who need an up-to-date guide to scripting, using latest browsers and web standards; experienced programmers who need to learn JavaScript as a new skill; and beginner JavaScript programmers who have started with the recent beginning guide and want to further their knowledge.
