Book Description

26 Sep 2003 0321130073 978-0321130075 5th

As both the Web and the browsers used to navigate it mature, work-arounds that compensate for the myriad factors that affect Web page appearance no longer cut it. Users expect Web pages to look beautiful regardless--and with the Fifth Edition of this popular Visual QuickStart Guide, you can make your Web pages comply. By following the generously illustrated, step-by-step instructions that are the hallmark of the Visual QuickStart series, you'll create beautiful code that works consistently across browser versions and platforms (including hand-held devices and cell phones) in no time.

This updated edition includes a new section on foreign-language and multilingual Web sites as well as ample coverage on how the use of HTML is changing. What hasn't changed, however, is the book's popular format: Task-oriented, step-by-step instruction that builds on your growing knowledge. Info-packed appendixes, a comprehensive index, and plenty of screen shots and code examples make HTML for the World Wide Web, Fifth Edition, with XHTML and CSS: Visual QuickStart Guide a must-have reference. Whether you're just getting your feet wet (no prior HTML knowledge is required) or design Web sites for a living, you'll turn to this best-selling guide again and again for answers to all of your HTML-related questions.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best html guide I have come across! 28 Oct 2003
Format:Paperback
To begin with I was a little dawnted by the huge index page and all the unrecognisable jargon.

I was vaguely familiar with html and web design before I bought this book and found the structure suited my capabilities.

The book starts by introducing the easier techniques and running through to the more difficult html and xhtml. This structure would allow novices through to more accomplished web designers to pick the book up at the level necessary.

I have read the book through twice and have been able to grasp all of the methods due to the excellent layout of the pages. Each html technique has a clearly defined heading, a description of the technique, the relevant html code layed out as you would in your web design package and finally the finished page to give you an ideology of pages you can design through this book.

Although I now consider myself to be quite competant with html, the HTML for the World Wide Web with XHTML and CSS: Visual QuickStart Guide is never far away. Due to the books extensive guide and glossary it is ideal to be used as a reference source.

This book is excellent for learning html and since I have progressed to other similar guides for dhtml and believe this series has a winning formula for learning web design

4.0 out of 5 stars Good HTML introduction 10 Aug 2004
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I got this having some familiarity with HTML but wanting to know how to move further with XHTML/CSS. As an introduction to HTML or as a way of moving away from the very basics I would recommend it. I also would disagree with the reviewer that compared this to a reference book - I have an (old) HTML reference book and this isnt that at all! It's a good introduction to all things web-development oriented and has plenty of clear diagrams and descriptions - it's pretty terse, but I think in benefits from that. You dont have to wade through a lot of verbiage before getting down to the nuts and bolts.

However, only give it four stars because I think the CSS reference in the title is a little misleading. There is coverage of this, enough to give you a basic grounding, but it's only a part of the book. There are also chapters on Tables, Frames (euugh!), Javascript, WML and just about every other aspect of web page development you might be interested in. I'd say the CSS parts only take up about 10% of the book. If you're looking a more thorough guide to standards-based web development and CSS, then you might be better looking elsewhere. However if you're less experienced and are happy with getting stuck straight into the code then I'd recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent guide to html 10 July 2003
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I bought this book without any knowledge of html/xhtml...
It gives a good understanding of html, xhtml and stylesheets, allowing the creation of good coded web pages.
I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn about html. Excellent for starters and equally excellent for advanced designers that need a reference book as its very well constructed and indexed.
Written very well by Elizabeth in a understandable language.
