PC Update Magazine

This book has an extraordinary depth of detail, but maintains a focus on practical issues and is written in a style that won't leave the reader flaundering. It's not for novices, but anyone with a reasonable undersetanding of building Web sites should be able to follow the tutorial without difficulty.

Don't be put off by the title: the DHTML here bears no resemblance to the stupid Web tricks of the late 90s that allowed animated unicorns to follow your cursor or silly Powerpoint-like transitions between Web pages

I thought both the explanations of DOM and the examples were super clear. I found it easy to move from them to doing what I wanted to do.

This is a really impressive book by Stuart Langridge, it’s easy to read despite explaining the examples to a level that should get even the most reluctant JavaScript developer able to adapt these to their own requirements and write their own scripts, and is full of sensible, real-world advice. It also mentions beer quite a lot and has marvellous quotations at the beginning of each chapter.

Modern Web Design Using JavaScript & DOM is the best JavaScript book I’ve read. Deprecated practices like adding inline event handlers to HTML are completely left out of this book, teaching you the best way to do it from the outset — this is all state-of-the-art stuff.

Stuart Langridge awakened the realizations of what can be done very simply using JavaScript to control a web page's display utilizing the Document Object Model.

Stuart delivered an excellent book, explaining the concepts of theDOM, the dynamic adding and removing of elements and even hitherto scary concepts like DOM events with all their bubbling and brewing (he has a beer signup form example) in a quick to grasp way.

About.com

This book describes the "modern" approach to programming with Javascript. It describes the way that the language is supposed to be used to work with web pages in accordance with the standards instead of the messy non-standard approach that most Javascript programmers have been using for many years.
