Overview

JavaScript In Easy Steps instructs the reader how to incorporate scripts within web pages to add functionality and dynamic effects.
There are code examples and browser screenshots that illustrate each aspect of JavaScript.

With many fun examples to copy, the reader can create a JavaScript clock, lottery number picker, image rollover effect, slide show, and scrolling layers. The book also shows how JavaScript can be useful with HTML. The reader need have no previous knowledge of any scripting language so it's ideal for the newcomer to JavaScript.
