Negative Positive
Title: Out of date
Review: When I bought this book I was looking for something I could read away from the computer and still pick up the basics of the new dynamic HTML possibilities. I got what I was looking for. The book is easy to read and understand and I was satisfied. . .until I got around to actually sitting down and hacking out the code. The book is, frankly, out of date. Written before the final release of IE4.0, it misrepresents some of the methods and code available for Microsoft's latest browser. I can only assume that the support for some of the code was changed after publication of this book. In fact, a lot of what I learned turned out to be fairly useless. As if to verify this, I soon found that there were many updates to chapters on the publisher's website. All in all, it's a book with great potential. I would expect a new edition out soon - and when it comes it could prove to be a truly excellent introduction to DHTML.
