Summary: Useless Tome
Comment: This book has almost no value (aside from a door stop). The information is incomplete, even for the time it was written. I applaud the effort of running scripts to ferret out "undocumented" information but even that information is presented in a useless fashion. Skip this book even when it is stacked high on the remainder pile.

Summary: Very much useless
Comment: This is alphabetically arrangement of unrelated concepts that only have in common that theyre are linked to JavaScript.

This is pretty much useless if you are looking for an anwer to a meaningful question. It is only useful in the case where you know the class/method and are looking for the table "which browser does it support it".

I definitely do not recommend it.

Summary: The CD-ROM is handy
Comment: Pleasantly surprised that this book contains a CD-ROM. What's amazing is that the disk contains not only the entire book but actually has more in it than the printed material. They say they would need to print two volumes to fit all the data in.

I don't use the book anymore. Besides being (deliberately) incomplete finding items is quicker using the CD-ROM. The electronic version is styled as webpages strewn with hyperlinks (I didn't and don't even bother checking out the pdf version). If you have enough hard disk space copy the entire CD-ROM and use that copy instead. Accesing the reference is much faster that way. Create a shortcut on your desktop or on the Quick Launch bar or anywhere it's most convenient.

Please note that this is not a beginner's book! Buy this only when you've gotten up to speed on JS programming. This is purely a dictionary-like reference for JS programmers. I myself bought it while my understanding of JS was at kindergarten stage. Needless to say 'reading' it then was a disappointing experience. My fault, not Wootton's. These days I refer to it every now and then to check on syntax and usage.
