Almost all chapters in this book correspond to similarly named chapters in Parts III and IV from the JavaScript Bible 4th and Gold editions. Although chapters in this book are consecutively numbered starting with Chapter 1, each chapter title includes a reference to the corresponding chapter number from the big books. For example, Chapter 1 of this book provides the Examples sections for terms related to generic HTML elements. That subject is covered in Chapter 15 of the big books. There is not always a one-to-one relationship between chapters.
Several chapters of the big books have no Examples sections in them because sample code is embedded as part of the big book text. Therefore, don’t be surprised to see gaps in pointers to JavaScript Bible reference chapters.
Listing numbers are derived from their original order in what had been planned as a contiguous volume. Such listing numbers are the ones referred to in the “On the CD-ROM” pointers throughout Parts III and IV of the big books. This should help you locate an example’s listing when you reach one of those pointers in the JavaScript Bible. Notice, too, that the big books’ running footers with property, method, and event handler names appear in this book, too. Therefore, if you should be looking at an example listing of this book and wish to consult the more detailed discussion of the subject in the large book, turn to the corresponding big book chapter and locate the corresponding terminology within the object’s chapter. Many examples throughout this book refer to The Evaluator. This Web page application is described at length in Chapter 13 of the big books. You can find the file for The Evaluator within the Listings\Chap13 folder on the CD-ROM for either the big book or this book. Download free ebooks on javascript: JavaScript Example Bible
