Joe Burns' fast and friendly approach to building a Web site keeps over 750,000 people coming back to his HTML Goodies Web site every month to learn JavaScript and HTML. Now Joe has gone way beyond the Web site with his book JavaScript Goodies!

Let Joe show you how easy JavaScript can be. Once he shows you how to master the basics of the language, he will show you how to program your Web site to work the way you want most - display times and dates, create a visitor counter, do image flips, make form fields, create random numbers, and more! And to help you out each "goody" in the book has a working example on the HTML Goodies Web site, so you can see how something works before you put it on your own site!
