A few people (Richard for one) have been asking about DOM scripting resources; specifically, whether there are any decent books out there which cover modern JavaScript and the DOM in detail (rather than JS-as-she-was, with image rollover scripts and onclick handlers in the code and other obtrusive DHTML techniques, which we don’t like). Well, there certainly will be one before Christmas this year, because I’m writing it. Due for publication around November time. I’m not quite sure how much I’m allowed to say about it, but I think it’s pretty good so far (I’m about halfway through it). Of course, I would say that, so all I can do is invite you to buy a copy for yourselves when published and make your own judgement. If enough of you do this then I will happily do a weblog entry from Barbados saying thanks, I promise.
And this is DOM scripting book, written , and concerning Uncategorized

Give us a title / pubisher so we can pre-order!

Sounds good – I like your coding style so hopefully some nice thoughtful scripts and techniques will be revealed.
I want a copy – any chance of a ‘notify me when…’ type sign up? If not then I’d appreciate some one letting me know when the time comes.

hi,
I look forward to your book.
Thank you very much for your nice unobtrusive javascript resources, I plan on using them in my project. I especially liked the “nice titles” script.
Here is a suggestion. I noticed that on the main page, not all links are “nice titled“. I would be nice if the nice titled links are styled differently so I can hover them to find out what the link to. just a suggestion.
Thanks again for a resourceful website.
Boy, I like the textarea preview “thingy” too.

Jon,
Believe me, I’ll be posting here in big red letters when it’s published. :)

Can never have too many good books about JavaScript/DOM out there. I can’t wait to see it.

Superb, put me down for a copy as well.
I’ve a wonky leg on my table and need to prop it up with something. :-)
Seriously though, any idea when it’ll be available for pre-order?
sil
Wonky legs a speciality :)
I’m not sure about pre-orders. I’ll mail the editor and find out…

Excellent! We need one: there’s nothing on the market that’s the least bit helpful on this front.

Matthew: one of my most recent posts outlines how it’s really nearly finished…
