Excellent Book 
The author is well known in Web Monkey. This is excellent book: the language is easy to understand / to read, complete reference for beginner and good price too.
This is not a book for professionals 
Netscape has since abandoned its support for layers, so this book has become seriously outdated. JavaScript was dragged kicking and screaming into the ridiculous morass that is DHTML. DHTML is basically a dead end and it will soon go the way of the dodo. Even the tricks in this book aren't supported by newer versions of IE and Netscape, and most of the code examples in the book are incorrect anyway. You can go to the site to get the code for free, so there's no reason to buy a book full of incorrect code. When it was published it had cute tricks, but very few of them were actually practical. The only practical part of the book was the portion dealing with CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) which are now widely used. There are much better books on CSS than this one. . . O'Reilly's Definitive Guide on CSS springs to mind. . . and there are plenty of free web references you can visit to get up to speed on CSS. Start with microsoft. com and save your money.
DHTML 
This does get you going in DHTML and has a great appendixes and index which outline code and code properties. This is not a beginner book you need to be comfortable with HTML and even JavaScript. It tells you what code works in Explorer and Netscape and even goes as far as to put the ones separate which require specific code. The book teaches you about Cascading Style Sheets. This was a great start to DHTML!.
