"Dynamic HTML" is a euphemism for "the standard tags are not enough and you have to learn some programming." Hyman introduces the dynamic object model, Cascading Style Sheets, and scripting languages like VBscript and Jscript. Like most books in the IDG series, this one is well written and entertaining. One caveat: the examples are Microsoft-centric, and some of the nonstandard suggestions here will not be supported in Netscape. For larger collections as an adjunct to Campbell. Since Netscape still has about 60 percent of the browser market, web authors exclude a lot of readers by designing for Internet Explorer 4. Campbell's book is for folks who want to design for all browsers. In a two-chapters-per-day seminar, Campbell covers all the bases and nicely balances the hands-on practical tips with underlying theory. He concludes with some worthwhile thoughts on "How much dynamic is too much?" Highly recommended for both beginners and advanced HTML users moving to the dynamic model and JavaScript. While Darnell does not use the word "dynamic" in the title, his bible covers everything dynamic: HTML, JavaScript, ActiveX, Java and the CGI, and even XML. To cover all that ground, he makes some assumptions, so this is not a book for beginners. It can work as a great quick reference for power users. For larger collections.

Customer Reviews & Comments
This review is from: HTML 4 Unleashed, Professional Reference Edition (2nd Edition) (Hardcover)
When I got this book, I had made a dozen family-style personal home pages. Nothing advanced, just basic stuff. This book was great for me, because it gave me lots of basic html codes and it's all right there, easy to find and easy to understand. I couldn't for the life of me understand frames before this book, but how to do frames was explained so well that I had to laugh at the troubles I had had with them in the past. This book also gets into some more advanced stuff, such as style sheets, and dynamic html. I had no experience in any of this, and I found that these things were not explained well enough for a novice such as myself to fully understand. I got lost. Someone with SOME experience in these other things might find this book to be a great resource for dynamic html, but it was a bit too much of a jump for me. For a beginning web page developer, this is a good resource for the extensive html coding it presents. I can't say about the more advanced programming, as it wasn't helpful to me personally.
