Jeremy, > How much JavaScript do you know?
Enough to get myself in trouble! Reading Stuarts' book has enlightened me to loads of really useful things, but I realise that as far as scripting languages go (compared to, say, PHP or VBScript) I am just scraping the surface of JavaScript. > What kind of things about DOM Scripting need clarifying? Reinforcement of unobtrusive techniques, including best practices and standard code snippets. I'd like to see some more stuff about "bullet-proofing" scripts as well, particularly when it comes to slower computers and click-happy users. > Do you want to see examples of "cool stuff" with a kind of "DOM Scripting for dummies" style explanation or more sober articles with a more geeky leaning? Bit of both, really. DOM Scripting has a fairly high built-in "cool quotient", just because it makes things happen on the page. But learning why and how something works, not just what it does and how to copy it, is the key to becoming proficient in any area of development. > Please share your personal experiences: what's your skill level with JavaScript compared to say, CSS or XHTML? What's your opinion of JavaScript? Compared to (X)HTML and CSS I'm not really very adept at JavaScript, however the few things I've done so far have been a lot easier to complete than I thought they would be. My opinion of JavaScript: the best days are yet to come.
