I bought this book and returned it two days later. As another reviewer has noted, the page layout is annoying and hinders readability. My main complaint is that the book shows how to do some stuff with javascript but lacks any explanation of why it was done that way. There isn’t enough information in the book to be able to expand the book’s examples into something you would want to use in your website.
When I took this book back, I bought the new Learning Javascript. I have only read the first chapter so far, but I have learned more useful information from it than I did from the Visual Quickstart Javascript book.

The layout of this book is very annoying. The first column has screenshots and the second column has the actual text. This makes code very difficult to understand because code that should fit on one line turns into three lines. This book does not do a good job at explaining Javascript either. It just gives examples and shows you what they do. The Ajax section is a joke, it only has about 50 pages on it and most of that tells you to use other peoples programs instead of how to write your own. I am still waiting to find a good AJAX book. Hopefully O’Reilly will come out with a Safari Series book soon, I am always satisfied with their books.

This book is useless; scripts published in this book don’t work. They have a lot of errors. Save your money and time don’t buy it.
