Today's Web pages need to pop. Even weekend webmasters can make their site shimmy using JavaScript, a simple yet powerful programming language. This clear, jargon-free book shows you, with step by step instructions, how to add free JavaScript programs to give you menus that expand when a visitor clicks on them, images that change with a mouse roll, and pages that respond to what a user types in. This Mini Missing Manual is excerpted from Creating a Web Site: The Missing Manual.
