Full Description

JavaScript is a powerful, object-based scripting language that can be embedded directly in HTML pages. It allows you to create dynamic, interactive Web-based applications that run completely within a Web browser -- JavaScript is the language of choice for developing Dynamic HTML (DHTML) content. JavaScript can be integrated effectively with CGI and Java to produce sophisticated Web applications, although, in many cases, JavaScript eliminates the need for complex CGI scripts and Java applets altogether. The JavaScript Pocket Reference is a companion volume to JavaScript: The Definitive Guide. This small book, covering JavaScript 1.2, is a handy reference guide to this popular language for Web development. It provides a complete overview of the core JavaScript language and contains summaries of both core and client-side objects, methods, and properties.

JavaScript Pocket Reference Review,  September 04 2001

Excellent, concise...everything that a pocket reference should be. I would like to see a more detailed approach to developing for both IE and Netscape, and a Document Object Model breakdown for quick referencing.

Media reviews
"[Consumers] will find the fine 'pocket references' produced by O'Reilly to be compact and affordable."
-- James Cox, The Computer Shelf: Midwest Book Review

"the aptly named JavaScript Pocket Reference will really almost fit in your pocket. Use this guide as a companion to turn to when in doubt about that function syntax or on drawing a blank on the JavaScript object model. This bite-size guide is formatted well for trips to client sites or a convenient spot on your desk." --amazon.co.uk

"JavaScript Pocket Reference is a small, easy-to-use, and relatively cheap way to have a convenient reference to quickly refresh your memory on various aspects of JavaScript. It, of course, will not teach you JavaScript or explain all there is to know. But, if you are, like I am, working in multiple places, it is an invaluable reference when you just need a quick answer to something or just don't have a more extensive reference at hand." --E. V. Bell, II, Ed's Internet Books, May 2001
