Excellent for beginners
This is an excellent book for the beginner. Plain speaking and clear, taking you from grass roots to the more in-depth stuff....
A very good good for beginners and intermediate fellows...
A great approach to DHTML. It's like a step-by-step guide from the basic of HTML to the depths of DHTML, Data Binding, Advanced Scripting and Cross-Browser Scripting. Very well spent money.
This book is the best DHTML book I have ever read
I thought that this book may not be all that it is cracked up to be, but after I bought it I was surprised. I already knew quite a bit of HTML, but at the begging it has an introduction to people who don't know it. It then progresses into DHTML, JavaScript, and then XML. It is not a reference book, but the CD it comes with has a complete DHTML, HTML and JavaScript reference, with loads of examples, images and sounds. If your are an intermidiate to advanced user, but not a beginner then I would recoment this book to you. I would almost buy it just for the free CD with it!!!!
The BEST tutorial/learning book on HTML/DHTML
This is the best book I've seen for learning DHTML. I taught for years and the author has a gift for explaining both simple and complex ideas in a very readable but information-rich format.
Like a reviewer below, I also found the book to be full of tons of links to useful online references and the CD to have a lot of useful info/demos.
As far as the book's coverage of different browsers, I thought that it covered the most important issues-what does not work in different browsers. There are even a few places where it deals with Opera and things like spiders and text only browsers, though of course most of the coverage is of Netscape and Internet Explorer.
a readable, accessible primer-to-intermediate guide 
True, this is not a great reference, though the CD contains great reference material and there are www links scattered liberally throughout the text. For more general DHTML references one would do better with either Goodman's "Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Guide" (O'Reilly & Assoc., 1998) for a cross-platform perspective or Francis et al. "IE5 DHTML Prog. Ref. 2nd Ed." (Wrox Press, 1999) for a very IE5-centric text.
What this book excels at is showing you how to do stuff with DHTML, combining (Java)script-ing, CSS, and touching on XML. It doesn't go deeply into any particular subject, nor does it skim too lightly, and its "portal" approach almost guarantees there are links to more information.
Netscape-centric developers will find this text off-putting to offensive. This book stresses - though is not exclusive to - IE4 and 5. As Microsoft and Netscape converge on the W3C DHTML specification we can hope browser-specific DHTML books will be replaced by more standardized texts.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is at least slightly familiar with the technologies and wants to put them together quickly to create eye-catching sites. Its Javascript tutorial is weak - if you're not already familiar with Javascript or its siblings (JScript, ECMAScript) start elsewhere then return to this book for practical uses of Javascript.
