Murach's JavaScript and DOM Scripting
A crash course in XHTML

Knowing how to code XHTML documents is a prerequisite to building JavaScript applications. So this chapter covers what you need to know to use this book. (If you already have experience with XHTML, you can skip this chapter for now and use it for reference later on if you come across a tag or attribute that you're not familiar with.)
