Book Recommendations For New JavaScript Learner?
Jun 12, 2006I have been working with HTML for a few years and am now just getting comfortable with CSS, but I never got into JavaScript. I learn best by reading and following instructions and doing small projects that emphasize the concepts. Can anyone recommend a good book for a beginner at Javascript? Something that makes you practice?

Feb 22, 2006I was just wondering if anyone knows of a great javascript book to buy. I am looking for something super duper hard core. I would love it to have documentation galore that includes all of the AJAX and DOM and XML. You know... like a javascript BIBLE. Something thick and comforting. Something that makes you feel all warm and toasty inside just knowing that it is there. So if I start running into some problem I can just glance at the book and rest assured that if the problem exculates not to fear. I have .... THE BOOK.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSee An Editor That Comes Close Toreading A Good Book?
Jul 23, 2005I have still yet to see a JavaScript Editor that comes close toreading a good JS book, learing it and using it with a text editor.
Anyway, here my recipe for build successfull DHTML Applications:
If you want to support only M$ IE stop here and do the following:
1) Install blindfold
2) Repeat the phrase - I love my cage :p
Buy the Book: Buy O'Reilly's JavaScript The Definitive Guide
~ The best damn JS guide & reference period, end of story, finito
Get a good Text Editor with Syntax Highlighting support
~ Real programmers don't use WYSIWYG tools
~ You will never learn with these tools
~ Code is always inefficient
~ Apps to Use:
~ OSX - BBEdit - Powerful but no MDI support :(
~ Win32 - UltraEdit - Low cost, high power, competent
yntax Highlighting
~ ^nix - Kate or KDevelop - Well written but needs KDE (big)
~ Does not work with OSX's X11 Client :[ - ('+' key
doesn't work)
Browser Development Platform
~ Mozilla (1.3+) (FireFox release suggested)
~ Why Moz?
~ Mozilla based development works in:
~ IE 95% of the time
~ Konquorer (KDE/Apple...), Opera 99%+ of the time
~ Why not IE?
~ IE based development works in standards based
browsers only 50% of the time
~ IE black hole methods (non standards based) causes
people to ignore standards based DHTML objects,
properties and methods.
~ Browser Support Baseline
~ IE 5.5sp2+
~ This is the first (reasonably) stable
version of IE for advanced JS coding.
~ When ever I experience weird bugs from users I have them
them upgrade to IE5.5sp2+ and it goes away.
~ Netscape 6.n+
~ Netscape 4.7 should not be supported!
~ Opera ? (I plead ignorance here)
~ Konquorer/Safari ? (I plead ignorance here)
Debugging Methodology:
~ Use JS Console (Moz)
~ Put try/catches at all error prone functions / methods
~ Because of IE's error stupidity, you should get as
close to the source as possible.
~ Read stack property of error in Mozilla to
read stack of error (powerful)
~ Install JavaScript Console Status in Mozilla
~ Use window.onerror handler
~ In IE, read arguments.callee.caller... to read stack
~ Goes only to last error throw point ! not error source
point :[
~ Note: at this time, there is no way to to get to
the Error object in Mozilla from this handler.
Therefore no stack in Moz. Use Try/Catch instead
Add the following code to every page:
_w=window
function getElem(s){return document.getElementById(s)}
function getEvent(e){ return is.ie?_w.event:e }
Event Declaration
~ Avoid using inline javascript declarations (In HTML Tags)
~ Inline declarations is where you call a function or
run code from the html elements definition
(onclick="<RunSomeCode>")
~ This technique will not allow you to access
the event argument in Mozilla...
~ Instead use getElem("<Element ID>").onclick=<function name>
~ Declare handlers like:
function mySlickFunction(e){e=getEvent(e)...
~ This will ensure you always have Event Object
~ If you want to get fancy you could normalize the Event
at getEvent()
~ Method Declaration
~ Declare <obj>.<meth>=function <obj_acro>_<event>(args){
~ Example: myObj.smile=function MO_smile(args){...
~ Why? - When you build you're stack in the debug
you get the method names!
Other Stuff:
~ Use JSON (www.json.org) as much as possible to nest data
structures (for more complex programming).
~ JSON is fast (primitively supported), stable easy to read.
Could anybody else add to this list?
If people are interested, I can make a document and add other stuff
like JS debugging libraries, Consoles and other slick JS Debugging
stuff.
Modal And Link Based On Ninja Book?
Apr 29, 2010I have a login link that is supposed to open a modal and then direct the visitor to a submission form once they are logged in. Here's the link code: <a href="/resources/submit" class="login">Submit New</a> and the jquery based on an example in the ninja book:
Code:
$('a.login').click(function() {
openDialog('#dialog');
});
$('#dialog')
[Code]...
When I put a path name in the href, the modal opens but then quickly closes itself and sends the visitor to the form. If I use href="#" the modal opens and stays open, but when the visitor submits the form they are returned to the page they were on rather than the submission form.
I keep setting this aside and coming back to it, thinking I'll understand what's gone wrong here, but I still don't. I'd like this modal to work for other links with different paths, so I don't want to code the redirect into the js - I want to be able to control it in the link itself.
Jquery :: Book Viewer With Security Features
Sep 7, 2010My client currently has a Flash book reader on his site that provides a UI for reading a book.Each page of the book is a GIF, and there are hundreds of books available.Now, my client would like to change this reader, and I've convinced him to let me rebuild the reader in jQuery.The hiccup is that, for copyright reasons, the images of the pages in the book must not be downloadable or accessible in the source code.(In other words, there shouldn't be a way to steal the book other than taking a screenshot of every page.)I want the reader to be powered by jQuery, it is, by definition, in-browser.

DHTML Utopia Book, Rollover Menu Inline?
Sep 27, 2005This is really only for anyone who has the book and has mastered the concepts of the rollover drop down menus from Chapter 7 in Stuart Langridge's DHTML Utopia book.
Does anyone know what the key is to getting the first menu list to appear inline, rather than as a block, while leaving everything else working as it does already?
Javascript Anthology Book DHTML Menu IE7 Problem
Dec 13, 2006Anyone trying out the javascript drop down menus from the Sitepoint Javascript Anthology book might have noticed that in IE7 the sub menus are misaligned, they are offset to far to the right.
Has anyone else come across this problem and does anyone know how to fix it? It has unfortunately broken several of my menus, though if you just try the demo menus from the book in IE7 they also suffer the same problem.

AJAX :: Functions Never Work With PHP - Tree Folder Which Calls Another Page To Be Loaded Into A DIV By AJAX Again
Apr 14, 2009I'm creating an AJAX page that is built using a PHP Class, ie the php looks a bit like this: PHP Code:
$wp_page->addjs('../var/savepolicies.js')
$wp_parser->page = "userpolicywindow.php";
$wp_parser->addlink("Home","../index.php","");
$wp_parser->addlink("Logout","javascript:logout();","");
$wp_parser->getpageid("501");
[Code]...
within this page that has been created, there is an AJAX tree folder which calls another page to be loaded into a DIV by AJAX again. Code:
[Code]...
I don't know why it doesn't work because the page has been loaded with the JS file, but as soon as the link is added afterwards it doesn't work. I take it this is because it doesn't know where to find the JS, but how can I overcome this?
JQuery :: Ajax Event Model And That Of Microsoft Ajax Control Tool Kit
Mar 24, 2010jquery provides ajaxStart() and ajaxStop() events. Those two events do not seem to be triggered if the ajax requests are made by Microsoft Ajax tool Kit (from ASP.Net code). Is there any way to bridge those two event models? If not currently possible, is there any future initiative or plan out there to make this happen?

View 3 Replies View RelatedJQuery :: Applying Ajax To Ajax-generated Data?
May 31, 2010i have a series of <select> fields. The first one, via ajax(), generates a 2nd one, based on the first ones' data with the .change() method. there is then a 3rd <select> - who's data will depend on choice of the second one although step 1 works, and i can generate the 2nd one, i still can't generate the 3rd one.
when i test the script on its own, both the 2nd and 3rd <select> fields are fine - but not via the ajax, which leads me to believe that the .change() from the 2nd one, isnt triggering the ajax call - its not being picked up (even the 'hello' alert isnt working).
