Dear Reader,

The Internet continues to develop at a rapid pace. Modern homepages are no longer static sources of information and now offer genuine interactivity. Active Internet pages of this kind cannot be implemented by just using HTML, the main language in the World Wide Web. That's why you have already taken a step in the right direction by buying this book on JavaScript.

You will get to know the key principles of JavaScript programming and will be able to use the quick reference guide to extend your knowledge to expert level. Afterwards you can check out the tips and tricks section to find out how to get more information about JavaScript.

At this point we would like to thank all those who contributed (in whatever way) to the creation of this book:

Firstly, our thanks go to our editor at Addison-Wesley, Christina Gibbs, who pulled out all the stops to allow us more time to write this book.

Thanks also to our parents and friends who hardly ever caught sight of us during the "white-hot" creative phase. We're sorry but things will calm down again now -- promise!

Last but not least, I (Ingo Dellwig) would like to thank the members of the Dortmund University Orchestra for being so thoughtful when I was immersed in my writing during our concert tour of Tuscany. Once again it was great fun touring with the orchestra.

We hope that you enjoy this book and that you will find in it all the information you need about JavaScript.

Elmar and Ingo Dellwig
