Book Description
This is a recipe-style how-to book that walks users through a wide variety of Dynamic HTML tricks, from page layout techniques through special effects. The internal design and presentation will be almost identical to other Magic books. Step-by-step instructions for each HTML effect will be heavily illustrated. Each will include notes about which browsers support it, and each will offer variations for other creative uses of the effect.
Card Catalog Description
Focusing on cross-browser techniques, this book shows how to format Web pages into multimedia animation and interactivity.
Customer Reviews & Comments
This book presents code for accomplishing 16 tasks using combinations of HTML, style sheets, and JavaScript. All examples and graphics are included on the accompanying CD-ROM (which worked fine on my IBM ThinkPad in Win2000). Yes, the tasks, like flashing text, circular animations, and pop-up menus, are rather cool. But are they really necessary? Will they bring more users to your Webpage? My biggest complaint with the book is that Rouyer repeats 4 out of his 10 or 11 steps for each task verbatim in every single chapter, giving full explanations each time. An additional 3 or 4 steps for each task are basically identical, with only filenames or numbers of calls to files different. This book would be a lot shorter and probably a lot cheaper to produce if these steps weren't repeated so many times. If you like to learn from examples, then this book can give you a lot of ideas. But if it's concepts that you're looking for, it will be up to you to find them on your own with this book.
