Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent introduction
Review: I knew a fair bit about HTML when I bought this and I learnt a great deal more from it. A very useful introduction to DHTML, I use it as a reference book. I don't agree with the reviewers who criticise it so heavily, I think it is well worth having on your shelf. OK there are non browser-independant examples, but you will soon work out what is going to work with each browser anyway (or you should!) PS OK one or two examples failed for me, but most are fine.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Out of date!
Review: I struggled through half the book before finally quitting. I have moderate experience with HTML and am quite experienced using Frontpage (Now using Frontpage 2000 Beta). The examples do not work using Frontpage 2000. (eg. FP2000 does not allow placing Javascript and CSS between the </head> and <body> tags,which the book stresses that you do). Too much of the book is taken up with the history and philosophy of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and Industry Standards. Very very disappointing. Not even deserving of one star.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Only for Explorer
Review: The nicely laid out examples work only in Internet Explorer. The authors have no clue. This is book is a waste of time, as it doesn't address cross browser functionality of DHTML. If you're a professional stay away from this book. The irresponsible publisher should be held accountable.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Out of date!
Review: This book is out of date and the author is pretty unsure if the code will work for IE 4. The author uses IE 4 beta to test the code. Also, I bought this book to learn about moving objects, this book does a poor job in explaining how to create animation with DHTML.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Needs To Be Updated
Review: To be fair, this book is over 3 years old. Of course it will have outdated information. At the time this was written the W3C wasn't sure which direction to go. That alone leaves lots of issues up in the air. I got this book 2 years ago and it was helpful then but I came back here looking for an updated version and did not see one. If you are new to DHTML this book will be less helpful than more recent ones.
