Thanks Bruce,

I am reading the reviews and it seems it does get pretty high praise other than being a bit out of date. Did you find this book useful for using javascript with ASP.NET? I know there are lots of javascript books out there and not sure I aspire to be a hard core javascript developer but more needing to be able to comingle reasonable client side code with the server side postback events.
Thanks for the recomendation
Tim

>>Hi All,
>>
>>I have searched through book titles and many that I own only to find I don't have any good tutorials or reading on how to effectively use(learn) javascripting. I am paticuraly interested in learning how to navigate through controls with no intelisense, how to use hidden fields and access them both from the server side C# as well as from a javascript function. How to cause a postback from javascript and how to cause javascript to run from serverside method or code after a postback. Does anybody have any suggestions for good reading or tutorials on these topics?

>>Right now I would like to do the following:
>>Within a javascript event set a variable of some sort on the client side indicating a condition.
>>Then cause a postback to server side code from this same function.
>>When the postback finished, I need to have another javascript function execute to check if this variable is true and if so
>>I can perform some additonal work on the client.
>>I have been trying to find information on doing this type of stuff with no luck.
>>
>>I really need to find a good book or tutorial on how these types of things can be accomplished.
>>Thanks a bunch, any help appreciated.
