The JavaScript Anthology: 101 Essential Tips, Tricks & Hacks

About the Authors

James Edwards (aka brothercake) is a freelance web developer based in the United Kingdom, specializing in advanced DHTML programming and accessible web site development. He is an outspoken advocate of standards-based development, a part-time forum moderator, and author of the Ultimate Drop Down Menu system—the first commercial DHTML menu to be WCAG-compliant.

Cameron Adams has a degree in law and one in science; naturally he chose a career in web development. His business cards say, “Web Technologist” because he likes to have a hand in graphic design, JavaScript, CSS, PHP, and anything else that takes his fancy that morning. While running his own business —themaninblue.com— he’s consulted and worked for numerous government departments, nonprofit organizations, large corporations, and tiny startups. Cameron lives in Melbourne, Australia, where, between coding marathons, he likes to play soccer and mix some tunes for his irate neighbors.
