This excerpt is taken from SitePoint's new release, DHTML Utopia: Modern Web Design Using JavaScript & DOM. This title contains over 300 pages of DHTML techniques that enrich the user experience without sacrificing usability or standards-compliance.

The author, SitePoint's own Stuart Langridge, utilizes Web standards, and separates code from markup as he constructs compelling, usable and interactive DHTML applications that degrade gracefully.

DHTML Utopia: Modern Web Design Using JavaScript & DOM explores the Document Object Model, remote scripting, Ajax, XML-RPC and xPath, among other technologies, in showing you how to create applications for your own Web projects. Build your own standards-compliant hierarchical navigation menu; create animated tooltips; validate form data using regular expressions and give dynamic feedback to your users; construct an AJAX signup form that can let the user know if their chosen username is already taken, without their having to submit the form itself.

This book provides countless applications of DHTML that will improve your site's interactivity in browsers that support standards, and degrade gracefully in those that don't.
