Abstract

For the Java web developer, learning a little front-end knowledge is necessary. You need to know a little about html, CSS and JavaScript.

Javascript the Definitive Guide( 7th edition ) gives a comprehensive introduction to the core of the JavaScript , as well as the legacy and standard DOM implemented in the web browser.

It uses some complex examples to illustrate how to handle common tasks such as verifying form data, cookies, and creating portable DHTML . it also includes a detailed reference manual, covering the core API of JavaScript, the legacy client API and the W3C standard DOM API, describing each JavaScript object, method, property, constructor, constant and event handler in these APIs.
