Firefox Hacks
Nigel McFarlane (O'Reilly)
From popup blocking and tabbed browsing to first-class security and privacy
protection, the reasons listed under the heading "Why Use Firefox?" on
Mozilla.org might lead you to ask, "Why use anythingelse?" Imagine a world
with no more spyware, vastly reduced spam, built-in search, RSS integration,
hassle-free downloading, and amazing customization possibilities. It's a
novel idea - a browser you can like and enjoy using.
"Firefox is the web browser that upholds the highest principles of the World
Wide Web," says Nigel McFarlane, author of "Firefox Hacks" (O'Reilly). "It
supports and defines the Web as a good place to be -a place where all people
can freely and safely participate, without having to tip their hat to
anyone."

Should you buy this book?
If you write ASP pages at all, then you are guaranteed to learn something from this book.

Dynamic HTML
Danny Goodman
Web content developers have a lot of information to keep track of. They need to stay current on the relevant Web specifications, like HTML, CSS, DOM, and ECMAScript.
They also need to know how the latest Web browsers from Netscape and Microsoft actually implement these standards, since browser implementations of the standards are less than perfect.
This is a compendium for Web content developers.
It should contain everything needed to create functional cross-platform Web applications.
