Hi, I am looking for recommendations for books or a book / website(s) on javascript/dom foo. I am winging it but I look at my code and go ''man is that ugly'' and I feel I could do much better.

My first (and cheapest) suggestion would be to open up the Prototype code itself, and see how it does things. From the little I''ve seen, Christophe Porteneuve''s book (still in beta) looks to be excellent. Others who have purchased it highly recommend it. http://pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/cppsu/index.html TAG On Jul 20, 2007, at 7:41 AM, isurge wrote:> > Hi, > > I am looking for recommendations for books or a book / website(s) on > javascript/dom foo.

It''s worth every penny although you''ll need some javascript and programming background to really get into it right away. Javascript The Definitive Guide is good for learning the basics and not-so-basics of Javascript itself, it''s a reference manual I use quite often.
