Описание: What do Flickr, Google Suggest, Google Maps, and GMail have in common?

They all take great advantage of some of the latest modern, unobtrusive DHTML techniques.

As users become more familiar with the Web, they demand more: more information, better usability, greater functionality and improved interactivity. If they don’t get it, they move on.

Client-side interactivity is the key to improving the user experience. DHTML Utopia: Modern Web Design Using JavaScript & DOM will teach you to create slick, interactive and usable Websites that work across all browsers and platforms.

DHTML, the marriage of HTML, CSS, JavaScript and the Document Object Model (DOM), can provide an amazing level of client-side interactivity, as many of today’s leading Websites have discovered. Amazon’s cool, new “Search Inside This Book” feature, Flickr, Google Suggest, Google Maps, and GMail are all examples of the modern, 'unobtrusive' DHTML techniques that are demonstrated and explained in this book – the first on the market to cover this technology.

DHTML Utopia: Modern Web Design Using JavaScript & DOM doesn’t cover old-style, browser-specific DHTML. Modern DHTML, as presented in this book, utilizes Web standards, separates the code from the markup, and degrades gracefully.

So your code will enhance sites’ interactivity and usability in browsers that can handle it, but won’t break the functionality on those that can’t. You can use DHTML on any Website, without having to worry about causing problems for even a small percent of your visitors.

‘DHTML Utopia: Modern Web Design Using JavaScript & DOM’ shows you how to apply this valuable technology to benefit your sites now—and in the future.
