Review title: Recipe-based book without teaching the basics
Product review: Perhaps if you are interested in copying and slightly modifying simple javascript snippets, this book might work for you. But if you are interested in a more fundamental understanding of Javascript so that you can go beyond the examples, this book is lacking in explanation. But the most annoying part of the book is the unreadable (and thus unusable) legend in the appendix that indicates which properties, methods and handlers are supported by which browsers.
