Dynamic HTML Weekend Crash Course (With CD-ROM)

Fifteen hours. With this book, that's all it takes for a Web designer to master the fundamentals of Dynamic HTML -- and start embellishing Web pages with animations, pop-up menus, rollovers, and more. The book presumes some knowledge of HTML, but no knowledge of the other chief components of DHTML, Cascading Style Sheets and JavaScript, which both receive detailed coverage. The CD-ROM has source code, Web development tools, and more. Get Up to Speed on Dynamic HTML—in a Weekend! The big day is Monday. The day you get to show off what you know about Dynamic HTML. The problem is, you're not really up to speed. Maybe it's been a while since you worked with JavaScript or cascading style sheets. Or maybe you just like a challenge. In any event, we've got a solution for you—Dynamic HTML Weekend Crash Course. Open the book Friday evening and on Sunday afternoon, after completing 30 fast, focused sessions, you'll be able to jump right in and start to create dynamic Web sites. It's as simple as that.
