No point getting a book on XML - it's just a data format so won't help
with builing web pages unless you want some sort of content management
system and have the skill to translate XML to suitable markup. DHTML
isn't for browser scripting - it's what you get when you combine HTML,
CSS and JavaScript (or other client-side scripting).

Reckon you should skip buying a book and head over to that little known,
under-used web resource at http://www.google.com/
