JavaScript: The Missing Manual

Book Description
javascript is an essential language for creating modern, interactive websites, but its complex rules challenge even the most experienced web designers. With javascript: The Missing Manual, you’ll quickly learn how to use javascript in sophisticated ways — without pain or frustration — even if you have little or no programming experience.

javascript expert David McFarland first teaches you the basics by having you build a simple program. Then you’ll learn how to work with jQuery, a popular library of pre-built javascript components that’s free and easy to use. With jQuery, you can quickly build modern, interactive web pages — without having to script everything from scratch!

* Learn how to add scripts to a web page, store and manipulate information, communicate with the browser window, respond to events like mouse clicks and form submissions, and identify and modify HTML
* Get real-world examples of javascript in action
* Learn to build pop-up navigation bars, enhance HTML tables, create an interactive photo gallery, and make web forms more usable
* Create interesting user interfaces with tabbed panels, accordion panels, and pop-up dialog boxes
* Learn to avoid the ten most common errors new programmers make, and how to find and fix bugs
* Use javascript with Ajax to communicate with a server so that your web pages can receive information without having to reload
