Summary: A clear winner!
Comment: Finally a book for developer's that makes sense! After I bought and read this book cover to cover, I cleaned off my desk. Instead of 4 different books covering the tech in this book, I now have 1 book that I love! I use this book to help me with minor (and major) development crisises every single day. Even a penny-pincher like me will openly admit that Netscape ONE Developer's Guide is certainly worth your time and money. This is one of two different books that I've purchased by this author. Another great book to get if you haven't already is Web Publishing Unleashed Professional Reference

Summary: Great buy and certainly useful...
Comment: I had a difficult time tracking this book down. Every bookstore I went to told me the book was on reorder. Not sure if this was an excuse or not, but several stores did tell me they had them in stock and they went fast. oh well. I did eventually find the book (right here on-line). So I made it a point to come back to Amazon and tell the world about the book.

Whenever I buy a book, which is fairly often as I develop commercial Web sites. I take the time to compare the book to other similar books. So how does Netscape Developer's Guide compare to other books out there? Extremely well. No other book covered as much ground and made so much sense. (800 pages of pure heaven) No other book had single sections that were worth the price of the book alone (Netscape Developers Guide has three sections that are certainly worth the price of the book, even if they had been the only sections in the book. The sections are the JavaScript, LiveConnect and LiveWire sections.) And yes. It has been a long time since I read a book with so much to rave about.

Summary: Good overall but weak in javascript syntax
Comment: My 3 stars might be a little low for a review of this book - Its a good reference for everything Netscape. Having bought the book for Javascripting help, I was a bit dissappointed with its handling of syntax. The Javascript object model provides a logical way to access most any element within an HTML page but the Netscape ONE book failes to specifically cover the object hierarchy syntax. Events and Methods are listed but very few of them are fully described with examples. Also, although some thought was given to cross-platform compatibility, there are some glaring problems that don't seem have solutions. One such problem involves Netscape's method for checking if windows are open and giving them the focus if they are instead of attempting to open a new window. While this works in Netscape, it does not in Internet Explorer - a fact not touched on
