For anyone interested in knowing HTML—from those just getting their feet wet (no prior HTML knowledge is required) to professional Web site developers.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   23 of 24 people found the following review helpful: Seriously disappointed with the other reviewers, 12 Jun 2007 By  Julie Cutler (Sheffield) - See all my reviews    This review is from: HTML for the World Wide Web: With XHTML and CSS (Visual QuickStart Guides) (Paperback) I bought this title due to all the enthusiatic reviews. I wanted to get back into web design, and as my knowledge predated xhtml, I needed a guide to modern techniques. This book got my head spinning and I was just lost after getting a third of the way through. It is so badly put together as a read it from chapter one guide. Thankfully I found "CSS the Missing Manual"by McFarland. Now I fully understand what Castro was banging on about in her unclear style with declarations, divs and spans (and I'm only on chapter one of that book). Really if you don't believe me, check out Castro's site www.cookwood.com - which depite being designed by a "bestselling" expert on web design is to me very tacky (yuk those verbose links). I rely on these Amazon reviews. Good grief, guys - I actually had to go to a bookshop to browse for an alternative!  Comment (1) | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

The book is so easy to follow even someone without prior knowledge would be writing their very own web site after a very short time. The sections are well laid out so you can skip the basics if you know them & get right in to styling your page with CSS which I found extreamly useful. Wheter you are new to X/HTML or not I would say this is a must have on your desk space.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

A lot has changed since then, but I never really took notice, until now... Recently, I was asked to create a website for a project at work. Realising how things have changed, I needed a book that is good for beginners in the new HTML versions and ideas (HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0 and CSS 1/2), but also not too patronising for people who have done HTML before and know the basics. I believe my choice was spot-on! Especially at the beginning, this is a really basic book, but I agree that not all people are seasoned experts. However, it quickly moves on to more advanced stuff. HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 are concurrently introduced and described, as there are not many differences between them. Styles are presented early across 4 chapters, which helps the eager reader getting to grips quickly with designing and building simple pages. Then more advanced features are presented, such as tables, forms, frames, two chapters of scripting, and even WML! The discussions for (X)HTML tags and attributes are complete, as well as for CSS properties. Browser peculiarities on different platforms are also presented throughout, so you learn how to deal with them. The appendices are very good with a list of (X)HTML tags, CSS properties, even a table of web colours. And to top it all off, an excellent website with tips, extras and even a discussion forum! What more do you need from a book? Just buy it!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this) › See all 37 customer reviews...		Most Recent Customer Reviews from a very keen newbe to HTML and CSS I can not recommend this book highly enough. While I am sure the professionals find it's lay out too simple. IT WAS IDEAL FOR ME!
