Customer Reviews

Excellent reference material.

This book is a godsend. I am a professional web coder, and I use this book all the time as a reference. We affectionately refer to this book as "The Bible" here at work. While I agree that this book is not for beginers, as it requires a prior working knowlegde of HTML, it is a must-have for anyone who codes HTML on a serious level.

The best HTML reference book for the best price.

This book has all the HTML information I need and costs less than most other HTML/basic website design. It IS written in PLAIN ENGLISH, which is refreshing. Finding the information you need to solve a particular HTML problem is quite easy. If you are only going to buy one HTML book, but this one.

Excellent - Buy this book is you use HTML

Excellent reference. I keep it open on my desk whenever I'm working with HTML. Gives you everything you need to know and is organized very well. If there is any criticism it is that you may be overwhelmed by the amount of info provided!

Best HTML reference book I've purchased so far.

This is an excellent book for your library. It describes you all the recent HTML (including 4.0) tags in plain english, with a brief explanation of when, where, why and how to use them. HTML tags are grouped in catagories (e.g, Frames or Tables etc.). If an attribute is only supported by Netscape or MSIE browser, it's description is preceded with as icon. The note section tells you the origin and history of the tag (HTML 2.0 or HTML 4.0 etc.). If you are planning to code HTML by hand, or you simply save source for an HTML to understand how it works, this is an excellent source. It is also for people who simply want the tags they need, when they need them. It is a one-stop HTML reference for headers to meta to java script to cascading style sheets and everything in between and beyond. Appendix - A contain a complete list of elements by HTML version and activity including Netscape and Microsoft extensions. This book is definitely a must for anyone working with Web Pages.

The code you need - Now.

This book does exactly what it says. It gives you all the recent HTML (3.2) tags in plain english, with a brief explanation of how to use them, when, where and why. It's perfect for those who like coding their own pages, but don't want to learn off every HTML tag in existence. It's for people who simply want the tags they need, when they need them (with a small explanation to refresh the memory). This book is definitely a must for anyone coding a web page. It's a one-stop HTML 3.2 tag reference manual (from headers to meta tags to java applets to cascading style sheets and beyond), that will quickly and easily provide you with the information you want, without throwing in a headache for free
