What's a good book to learn Javascript DOM manipulation?

Question

I'm looking for a book I could use to learn the subject of DOM scripting. So far I just have been learning only the things I needed for my given projects online, but I would like to buy a book on the topic so I can fully learn the material as a whole. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Unsurprisingly, I love DOM Scripting, by Jeremy Keith.

Answer 2

I like Practical JavaScript, DOM, and Ajax Projects

Answer 3

Why not try something like jquery. It has a pretty good documentation, you can find it here, or you can grab a book.

Answer 4

While not specifically a DOM Scripting book, I did (and still do) enjoy PPK on JavaScript. It covers lots of basics, but also some browser quirks and how to get around them which comes in handy when writing DOM-manipulating scripts. The book is built around real-world examples of scripts that the author was hired at one time or another to write.

Check it out.

Answer 5

I'll add a vote for DOM scripting, by Jeremy Keith. I used it when I barely knew Javascript.

Answer 6

I recently bought jQuery: From Novice to Ninja by Earle Castledine and Craig Sharkie, great book as everything is taught using real-world-style examples. Now we have jQuery there is very little need to go overboard about Dom Manipulation the old fashioned (JS) way, although it is still good to have a working knowledge I suppose.
