"Quigley's book strikes a perfect balance: serious, yet exceptionally accessible. I strongly recommend it to anybody learning JavaScript for the first time."
--Nick Main, software engineer
In JavaScript by Example, Ellie Quigley teaches JavaScript using the same proven approach that's made her the world's favorite scripting author and instructor. This book's unique and classroom-tested learning path contains hundreds of small, easy-to-understand examples that demonstrate the full range of JavaScript's power. One step at a time, Quigley guides new JavaScript programmers through every essential technique, from script setup to advanced DOM and CSS programming.
Coverage includes: - Data types, literals, and variables
- Operators, control structures, and functions
- Building dialog boxes and working with JavaScript objects using the Browser object: navigator, windows frames, dynamic images, and links
- Event handling, regular expressions, and form validation
- The JavaScript Document Object Model (DOM), Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and Dynamic HTML
Whether you're a first-time or long-time scripter, a Web professional or sysadmin, Ellie Quigley will help you write rock-solid JavaScripts that get the job done.
The CD-ROM contains HTML versions of Netscape's JavaScript 1.5 Core Reference and JavaScript 1.5 Core Guide PLUS all the source code and data files used in the book.

Customer Reviews & Comments
Wether or not this book is right for you, really depends on what you need from a Javascript text book. Armed with some basic knowledge of HTML, this was the perfect text to put me up to speed on the topic. There are many examples (as the title implies), giving you an exhaustive treatment of all topics. This treatment doesn't leave anything out, and though it would be nice to have the answers to the exercises, anything which stumps you can be solved by going over the examples again. There are many explanations for every example given, but it's quite easy to skip around to what you need if you know some of the material already. Excellent self-study tool.
