This book isn't a guide book, while there is a small section at the beginning of the book dealing with some of the basics of dynamic HTML, Javascript, etc. That section is less than 200 pages out of almost 1400. The author assumes that you have at least some knowledge of the basics. What this book is good for, is when you want to know what attributes, methods, events, etc are available for a given HTML element, and what the effects of the various values for those attributes. So for example, in your case, I can look at the createPopup() method of the window object and see that it is not available in any version of netscape, it is not available in any version of DOM, and it is only available in IE, but only for version 5.5 and greater and only in windows. So if you are trying to provide support for multiple browsers, the createPopup() method is probably not a good choice. btw, I am in no way associated with the author or publisher. I just find the book incredibly useful. When I am working on a web project I refer to it constantly. In fact while I have other books available, this is the only one I actually use.

I have four books on JS that tell you how things work under different browsers although I do not have that particular one. What my books do not do is tell you what to use when the method you have been using only works under one browser - does the one you suugest do that? i.e they do not say when supporting Netscape use xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx instead of createPopup. I will certainly see if I can find a copy here in the UK to have a look at but I fear that it may not solve my problem Many thanks Rob Dixon Joe Lee wrote: >I highly recommend that anyone doing anything with dynamic html get a >copy of "Dynamic HTML The Definitive Reference, 2nd Edition" by Danny >Goodman.
