The author forgot what Javascript mainly is for

Hi,

The big problem for this book is that the author plays Javascript for Javascript. I know that most readers come here for the useful stuff for Web development, but I have to work hard to dig them out from vast useless language feature and examples. For example, I want to see from very beginning how Javascript useful in my web site, but sorry, it comes at second half book. For example, I want to see how to use client site validation in my JSF page, but sorry, little if any. for exaple, I want to see how to handle multiple actions in my struts JSP page, but sorry, you have to think by your own. The author is so enjoyful by Javascript language itself and forgot what most readers comes here for.

Thanks

Fei Li
