Javascript
The Definitive
Guide
by David Flanagan
- The publisher, O'Reilly and Associates
JavaScript is a simple programming language from Netscape
that can be embedded in your 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 plugins.
JavaScript is not an alternative to Java, but an ideal
partner. The two languages have separate but very
complementary features. Since JavaScript is a simple
language that can be embedded directly into a web page,
without need for compilation, it is accessible to more
web page authors, and may actually have a larger
short-term impact on the Web and on Internet computing
than Java itself. This book is a definitive guide for
JavaScript. 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. These chapters are
followed by a complete reference section that documents
every object, property, method, event handler, function,
and constructor used by client-side JavaScript. This book
also covers the use of JavaScript on web servers, as well
as the object, properties, and methods of server-side
JavaScript. A separate reference section documents the
interaction between JavaScript and HTML -- mainly aspects
of HTML that relate to JavaScript. 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, 3.0.1, and 3.0.2.
LiveConnect, used for communication between JavaScript
and Java applets, and commonly encountered bugs on
JavaScript objects are also covered.
