Thanks Peter, but I'm one of those weirdoes that likes a book next to me while I work on the computer. Strange, no?
But you raise a good point about bandwagon jumpers. If Danny Goodman had revised his Dynamic HTML reference since 2006 to include HTML5 I'd snap it up in a heartbeat. The first two editions are indispensable to me. In fact, I might just get the third edition because it covers Ajax and I know little about it.
