However chapter 6 the PhotoListInlineSlideShow if the number of images on this goes into double figures the counter at the bottom fails to operate properly i.e. image 11 will be "110 of X" and 12 "1210 of X" I have looked at the scripting with my knowledge (intermediate at best). Is there a solution to this it would be much appreciated. Again the general knowledge in the book however is very well explained. A good book.

After going through the first four chapters of this book I still feel completely clueless about using JavaScript. Being a beginner, are there other references I should check out first or will the book begin to tie things together with real applications of JavaScript? I appreciate your feedback as I really want to learn programming but feel a bit lost. Hi Chris,

However, there's a serious omission; much more needs to be said about the limitations imposed on Javascript by browsers. Although it's briefly touched upon at the start of the book in 'Problems and Merits', it's implied there that only people with browser security set to 'paranoid' will have problems. . .However, if I try to run the first example from the book here on this site on a totally standard installation, I get 'This website is using a scripted window . . . ' Worse, if I 'click here to allow...' I still don't get the Input window.(I'm using IE7 on Vista) Sorry, but if the very first example doesn't work as advertised . . . . .
