 Excellent introduction August 13, 1999
I knew a fair bit about HTML when I bought this and I learnt a great deal more from it. A very useful introduction to DHTML, I use it as a reference book. I don't agree with the reviewers who criticise it so heavily, I think it is well worth having on your shelf. OK there are non browser-independant examples, but you will soon work out what is going to work with each browser anyway (or you should!) PS OK one or two examples failed for me, but most are fine.
 There must be better books out there. June 19, 1999
The book is not well organized, poorly written and cannot in any way be used as a reference. In many cases it does not tell you if the code will work with both browsers, in many cases it teches you old, non-standard technologies like JavaScript Style Sheets and Visual Basic Script. If you really like to figure out something yourself using book's narrow hints you might want to buy it. I actually managed to build a few sophisticated web sites partially because of reading this book.
 This book is wretched May 11, 1999
I struggled through half the book before finally quitting. I have moderate experience with HTML and am quite experienced using Frontpage (Now using Frontpage 2000 Beta). The examples do not work using Frontpage 2000. (eg. FP2000 does not allow placing Javascript and CSS between the and tags,which the book stresses that you do). Too much of the book is taken up with the history and philosophy of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and Industry Standards. Very very disappointing. Not even deserving of one star.
Very bad book April 26, 1999
I read this book with prior knowledge of dynamic HTML to see if the author could provide further insight on the topic. After completion of the text, I was left confused. My problems with the book:1. This book is poorly organized. I realize that this is an introductory book, and some people are looking for walk through examples, but the book needs to cover the basics better. 2. The book has awful coverage of the different DHTML implementations in Netscape and Explorer. Besides acknowledgement of the differences, the author does little to explain items. 3. The examples don't work. The typical user of this book is a beginner and would not be able to debug the examples. This is terribly irresponsible behavior by the publisher. They should have verified the code beforehand. If people are interested in learning about DHTML or other technology subjects, I'd recommend forgetting these "Learn in a week (or 21 days)" books and check out the Wrox press books.
Those who can't do ... teach February 13, 1999
I can't believe how bad this book is. If the authors can't write code that works how will they help others? First example in the book is browser dependant, but they don't bother to mention that little fact. Fools, fools, fools. Save your money.
