Practical JavaScript™, DOM Scripting, and Ajax Projects

So there I was, just minding my own business, when along came a publisher asking me if I’d be interested in writing a book on JavaScript. It seemed like a good thing to do at the time, so I said yes. I’m just kidding. No one asked me, I just showed up one day on the doorstep of Apress with a manuscript and some puppy-dog eyes. I’m just kidding again. Seriously though, JavaScript is one of those kids we all knew when we were young who start out really ugly, but whom everyone wants as their beautiful date to the prom years later. Then they go on to Yale, become a district attorney, and suddenly everyone realizes that they really
want to be with that person. Fortunately, unlike the DA, JavaScript doesn’t involve crimes and misdemeanors, since you know you don’t have a chance any other way with the DA!
