A decent introduction to JavaScript and JScript, JavaScript Complete does a good job of walking a new programmer through the elementary aspects of the language. Though coverage of the language's more advanced capabilities isn't great, you'll finish this book knowing how to do several popular tricks with JavaScript--and knowing something about animation.
After walking you through the most basic aspects of the language (including how it relates to various browsers) and guiding you through a "Hello, World" example, Holzner explains operators and control structures and details the most popular and useful objects one by one. He devotes large sections to the Form, Image, Document, Window, Navigator, Location, and History objects.
This book differentiates itself from other JavaScript tutorials through its discussion of JavaScript animation, an area that has received little coverage. Holzner shows how to do animation both with and without using the Layer object (based on HTML 4.0).
