It's gotta be the best

Honestly, this is the book that God used to create the world. It's got everything a web developer could ever want....HTML, DHTML, CSS, JavaScript, VBScript ... It's a complete A-Z reference of ever attribute, method, event, tag and opject. It does have a few errors, and a few startaling ommisions (it's missing for example, and some of the older netscape-only tags). But everything taken into account, I can only pray that they come out whith a revised edition to fill in some of the newer syntax, and expand the browser version differences for the 5.0 browsers. (the book has more than you want to know about the 3/4.0 browsers on both PC and Mac) and to break down the browser support detail for individual properties and methods (not just by tag or object).

Comprehensive and essential book for web developers

I have yet to find a book that provides the amount of information that this book does, an essential reference for web developers both professional and amatuer

Errors do not detract from book's value

Yes, there are some errors and omissions in this book; it is inevitable with a reference work of this size and scope. But that does not in any way detract from its value. I turn to this book constantly while coding my web pages; whether it's for HTML or Javascript, I always find the answer I need right away. I would be lost without it.

great overall reference-don't leave home without it

Despite it's few omissions here and there, I think this is still the most complete html reference book out there. It's easy to navigate and I love the browser compatibility charts for each tag. I really don't leave home without it when I'm doing onsite work.
