Great Reference
If you are looking for a great reference book to get you through ASP and vbscript DHTML, this is the book for you. It lists the syntactical details in a reasonably easy to follow format.

I had trouble keeping this on my desk at my last job.

Got me up and running quickly
At the time, there weren't many books on VBS. This was just about the best out there. Now, I would probably go with an O'Reilly book. Anyway, I thought it was concise and info was easy to find when using as a reference. If you already have experience with using VB, even for just MS Excel and Access (not the full blow language version), this book will benefit you. I just needed a lookup reference on how to do stuff with VBS for the web, and that's exactly what I got. This book helped me to create my first online order calculator for a site that I'm webmaster for. However, if you need more coverage of the VB language, then choose another, more comprehensive book. I think the books assumes that you know something about VB already. If so, then this book is probably enough.

Great reference for developers
I love this book for what it is: a great reference. Both the developer I mentor and myself love this book. It breaks down the IE DOM into easy to read entries. It clearly states syntax and variable ranges. It has only what an experienced developer needs in syntax in an easy to find format.

Not for learning how to program.
