DOM Scripting comments: Second Edition http://domscripting.com/blog/display/126 I didn’t write it, but it meets with my approval. en Peter http://domscripting.com/blog/display.php/126#comment1071 Thanks for the news. Here in Germany the second edition is already available via amazon (and maybe other online bookstores). I will definitely have a look.

It all comes down to my poor understanding of DOM. In the past, I always bought books whenever needed to get hold of a subject, and thats how learned all the web and the Internet technologies, and now again starting doing the same, starting with your book. After reading all the good comments, have already ordered it a few minutes ago. I believe only in the print versions, so ordered only the printed one.

My problems are mostly regarding on which pages to define what jQuery and JavaScript functions. If everything is defined in on .js file and is referred to in the header of the main index.php page, some functions don’t get propagated to the items later loaded in the divs, and some do fine. Some of the code I have to remove from the .js file and move to the pages which are later loaded, and yet clicking on another link, and coming back to the earlier one breaks the DOM hierarchy. It is very confusing, though I am getting better at it with time, and hopefully this book will help me significantly in this direction.

Bit surprised there’s not much mention of Event Listeners as opposed to Event Handlers though? I guess jQuery will be used to handle these events?

Anyway, back to the book..

So it’s not a 100% rewrite which is sorta what I was expected (Hey, folks have changed the way they do DOM scripting a lot in the past few years :)

But yeah, it would probably would would’ve been more honest to label it as "Originally by Jeremy Keith with updates from Jeffrey Sambells."

Makes me uneasy. :/

Thanks for the overview of what’s new because I had considered the updated version, but I’ll take your advice and focus on the dedicated books for the new topics. Do you have any more new books in the works?
