|This book deals with a programming language, but it isn´t intended for programmers. This is a book for web designers. Specifically, this book is intended for standards-aware designers who are comfortable using CSS and XHTML. If that sounds like you, read on... This book is made up of equal parts code and concepts. Don´t be frightened by the code: I know it might look intimidating at first, but once you´ve grasped the concepts behind the code, you´ll find yourself reading and writing in a new language. Learning a programming language might seem like a scary prospect, but it needn´t be. DOMillegalscripting might appear to be more verbose than, say, CSS, but once you´ve got the hang of the syntax, you´ll find yo- self armed with a powerful web development tool. In any case, the code is there simply to illustrate the concepts. I´ll let you in on a secret: nobody memorizes all the syntax and keywords that are part and parcel of any programming language. That´s what reference books are for. This isn´t a reference book. I´m going to cover the bare minimum of syntax required to get up and running with Javaillegalscript. I´m really going to focus on the ideas behind DOMillegalscripting. A lot of these ideas might already be familiar to you: graceful degradation, progressive enhancement, and user-centered design are important concepts in any aspect of front-end web development.|
This book is about the latter of the three. Foundation Javaillegalscript and DOM for Web Designers gives you everything you need to start using Javaillegalscript and the Document Object Model to enhance your web pages with client-side dynamic effects. We start off by giving you a basic crash course in Javaillegalscript and the DOM, then move on to provide you with several real world examples built up from scratch including dynamic image galleries and dynamic menus, and show you how to manipulate web page style using the CSS DOM, and create markup on the fly.

We know from the success of titles such as Web Standards Solutions, Cascading Style Sheets: Separating Content from Presentation, and The Web Designer's Reference that web designers are increasingly concerned with making sites that don't just look pretty, but are also built using current best practices.
There are three main technologies married together to create usable, standards-compliant web designs: XHTML for data structure, Cascading Style Sheets for styling your data, and Javaillegalscript for adding dynamic effects and manipulating structure on the fly using the Document Object Model.
This book is about the latter of the three. DOMillegalscripting: Web Design with Javaillegalscript and the Document Object Model gives you everything you need to start using Javaillegalscript and the Document Object Model to enhance your web pages with client-side dynamic effects.

Then, he shows you how to manipulate web page style using the CSS DOM, and create markup on the fly.
