Summary: NOT for beginners!
Comment: This is a superb book for people who already know a whole lot about javascript and programing, definitely NOT for beginners! Before I bought this book I had worked my way through some popular titles like: "Teach Yourself Javascript in 24 hours", and then :"The Javascript Anthology, 101 tips tricks.."(600 pages only this volume!!) and I definitely needed all the bit of knowledge I had learned from them to keep up with the pace the author takes on in discussing advanced topics, in-depth! You do not only need to know the basic syntacs and the building blocks of the language like variables and loops etc,but you already MUST have an in-depth knowledge of such more advanced issues as regular expressions, types of objects, literal expressions, all the event registration modells in their complexity, bubbling-capturing included.. Should I continue listing? These do not seem to be for a complete beginner..
All in all, the above mentioned "Javascript Antology 101 .." IS a book for the false beginner- or rather for, the so-called "advanced beginner",but you need heavy armor and weaponry if you want to succeed with Advanced Dom scripting!

Summary: Learning to DOM your web pages.
Comment: Learning how to AJAX your web pages may leave you floating if you don't understand the DOM well enough. This book is excellent at introducing you to what the DOM is and how to use it. Most of the other comments and the book description are great so you don't need me to write that over again. I am a professional web programmer and this book helped me move from another person who liked to do everything server side to doing even more inside the browser.

Summary: Loved it
Comment: I'm not a full time programmer (was one earlier), and usually play a role in product management. So my objective was to get a grasp of the technology itself and the various components of DOM/JS. This book does that job very well. From a programmers perspective it's probably an intro level book. I have to say that the book is very well organized. I'm about to start on - Bullet Proof Ajax - by the same author.

Summary: Well Done for Beginners
Comment: Dom Scripting was well written, with the beginner in mind. However, don't let the term beginner turn you off. The book gives fundamental guidelines for scripting with DOM and provides sound reasons for them. The style guidelines and their reasoning are enough of a reason to by the book.
The book proceeds from an introduction of JavaScript, to a photo gallery that is designed to work with or without JavaScript, and finally to a complete website.
