With DOM Enlightenment, you’ll learn how to manipulate HTML more efficiently by scripting the Document Object Model (DOM) without a DOM library. Using code examples in cookbook style, author Cody Lindley (jQuery Cookbook) walks you through modern DOM concepts to demonstrate how various node objects work.
Over the past decade, developers have buried the DOM under frameworks that simplify its use. This book brings these tools back into focus, using concepts and code native to modern browsers. If you have JavaScript experience, you’ll understand the role jQuery plays in DOM scripting, and learn how to use the DOM directly in applications for mobile devices and specific browsers that require low overhead.

<li>Understand JavaScript node objects and their relationship to the DOM</li>
<li>Learn the properties and methods of document, element, text, and DocumentFragment objects</li>
<li>Delve into element node selecting, geometry, and inline styles</li>
<li>Add CSS style sheets to an HTML document and use CSSStyleRule objects</li>
<li>Set up DOM events by using different code patterns</li>
<li>Learn the author’s vision for dom.js, a jQuery-inspired DOM Library for modern browsers</li>
</ul>

In modern web development, there is a big focus on using frameworks and other reusable code to build up web sites, rather than writing everything from scratch. Textpattern is one such framework, allowing it's users to build up standards-compliant professional web sites using PHP, MySQL, and CSS, with only a basic knowledge of the underlying technology. It's also open source, so free to use. It has become very popular, with tens of thousands of downloads to date, and is used on some high profile sites, such as that of Senator Ted Kennedy (tedkennedy.com) We are proud to present the first book dedicated to Textpattern development, written by 5 experts. It takes the reader right from the basics of the subject such as installation, right up to advanced subjects like writing plugins. It also includes case studies and reference sections.
