JavaScript Book

In typical O'Reilly & Associates fashion, this book documents every nuance of the JavaScript 1.1 language specification. It may appear dry on the surface (many pages have the spare style of UNIX online documentation), but this is the book you'll pull off your shelf when you want to know which method returns the primitive value of an object. Flanagan's book comes out ahead of its competitors in a few other areas, too. JavaScript features a useful discussion of the limited JavaScript support found in Microsoft Internet Explorer and provides excellent documentation of LiveConnect, the software that allows JavaScript to communicate with Java applets. It also offers a taste of what's in store for the just-released JavaScript 1.2. With a relatively small number of examples and no CD-ROM, this guide is more of a reference than a tutorial. It will serve experienced JavaScript programmers far better than those who are just starting out with the language. Read More

  • Product Description

    From the bestselling author of Java in a Nutshell comes the definitive reference manual for JavaScript, the HTML extension that allows programs to be embedded in web pages, making them more active than ever before. In this book, David Flanagan describes how JavaScript really works, and when it doesn't. The first eight chapters document the core JavaScript language, and the next six describe how JavaScript works on the client side to interact with the web browser and with the web page. Following this detailed explanation of JavaScript features is a complete reference section that documents every object, property, method, event handler, function, and constructor used by client-side JavaScript. This second edition also describes the server-side JavaScript application, LiveWire, developed by Netscape and Sun Microsystems. Using LiveWire, developers can quickly and easily convert JavaScript applications and any HTML pages containing JavaScript code into platform-independent byte codes ready to run on any Netscape 2.0 Server. The book describes the version of JavaScript shipped with Navigator 2.0, 2.0.1, and 2.0.2, and also the much-changed version of JavaScript shipped with Navigator 3.0. It also covers LiveConnect, used for communication between JavaScript and Java applets, and commonly encountered bugs on JavaScript objects.
