DOM Scripting:
Web Design with JavaScript and the Document Object Model
Learn how to:
Apply dynamic behavior to your pages without inserting JavaScript in your markup.
Write scripts that degrade gracefully when JavaScript isn’t available.
Use web standards to ensure cross-browser compatibility.
Harness the power of the DOM to create user-controlled animation.
Also includes an introduction to Ajax.
Y
ou might have heard of the Document Object Model. You will almost
certainly have heard of JavaScript. This book explains exactly what these
technologies are, where they came from, and what they can do for you.
You don’t need to be a programmer to understand DOM Scripting. In fact,
this book is aimed specifically at web designers. Programming concepts are
illustrated with easy-to-follow tutorials to teach you the ropes of JavaScript
and the DOM as painlessly as possible. You will build practical, real-world
examples that you can use on your websites. But this book is more than just
a collection of useful scripts: it also examines best practices. JavaScript and
the Document Object Model are two very powerful technologies that go
together like peanut butter and jelly, but if they aren’t used with forethought,
the results could be messy. The examples given here will encourage you to
think about DOM Scripting in a responsible, user-centric way.
If you’re already using web standards like CSS and XHTML, you’ll appreciate
the enhancements that DOM Scripting can offer. Just as CSS allows you to
keep your presentation separate from your structure, you can use
unobtrusive JavaScript to add dynamic behavior to your web pages without
messing with your markup or sacrificing usability. This book is your
indispensable guide.
