The days of Web pages that have nothing more than text and a picture or two are long gone. To be competitive in today’s Internet landscape, you need pages that pop. This Mini Missing Manual shows you how to add interactive elements to your pages: menus that expand when a visitor clicks on them, images that change with a mouse roll, and pages that respond to information people type into forms.
The key to pages like these is JavaScript, a simple programming language that’s surprisingly powerful. This book gives you enough background on JavaScript so you can find great (and free) JavaScript code online, understand it well enough to make basic changes, and then to paste it into your pages to get the results you want.
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.
