Abstract: JavaScript is a simple scripting language that is directly embedded in HTML Web pages. It allows you to control the behavior of the Web browser, add dynamically created text to your Web pages, interact with the user through HTML forms (without CGI scripts), and, in version 3.0 of Netscape Navigator, even control and interact with Java applets and Navigator Plug-Ins. JavaScript: The Definitive Guide provides a rapid and thorough exposition of the JavaScript programming language, as well as an in-depth reference section covering each JavaScript function, object, method, and event handler. HTML authors will learn how to use JavaScript to build dynamic Web pages. Experienced programmers will quickly find the information they need to start writing JavaScript programs. And all JavaScript programmers, regardless of experience level, will find the book an indispensable reference to the JavaScript language and classes.
