This book does exactly what it says it will do and it's a great resource for anyone who's doing website design. It provides detailed information that is useful for anyone from a beginner to an expert in website design. If you want to learn about cascading style sheets in both CSS and JavaScript, then this is the book for you. It also covers all of the new capabilites of version 1.2 and 1.3 of JavaScript and integrates it into DHTML. It has lots of working examples which illustrate specific concepts that are easy to understand. It also has a substantial number of very practical real-world application examples and the most complex examples are thoroughly explained. I highly reccommend this book to anyone designing web pages, even if you mostly use straight HTML. The HTML primer is a great reference and there are lots of reference sheets from the book that are on the CD-ROM that you can easily print out as a handy memory-jog.It seems to me that the previous reviewer gave an unwarranted rating which was based on her initial misperception of the purpose of the book. The "Review" information at the site, which was taken from the Back Cover of the book, clearly states that the book was Navigator-oriented. Just get the book: you'll learn a lot and be glad you did.
