After mastering the design of basic web pages, the first scripting language you need to add to your portfolio is JavaScript. Even with eye-catching graphics and interesting text, today's web pages need the dynamic content offered by JavaScript to attract and keep viewers' interest. Things such as rollovers, pop-up boxes, and interactive web pages require more than HTML.

JavaScript Design is written with the designer in mind to help you master JavaScript and add a whole new dimension to your designs. In addition, to help you get started using databases with JavaScript, this book provides instructions to middleware such as CGI, ASP, PHP pages and SQL databases.
