Product Description

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.

This Student Edition includes end-of-chapter exercises and instructor resources.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must have for anyone into web design, 20 Nov 2005

By	Mike (colchester) - See all my reviews

This review is from: HTML for the World Wide Web with XHTML and CSS. (Visual QuickStart Guide) (Paperback)

I bought this book after looking around for something to compliment the html & CSS I have learned studying the CIW internet webmasters course.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The woman is a genius!, 25 April 2007

By	lovetolearn (South Yorkshire, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: HTML for the World Wide Web: with XHTML and CSS (Visual QuickStart Guides) (Paperback)

I've had several editions of this book and they're the best of the best. In fact, it's how I started out after I'd read all the other confusing books out there and I still use it because virtually EVERYTHING is covered including kerning, word-spacing and other odds and ends that you normally don't come across.

What's so great about this book?? Clarity and simplicity. She explains everything in detail and you can pick out what you want, when you want. No need to start from the beginning and work your way through - just find the section you need and get started.

This book is in colour, too. Every example has a detailed, friendly picture of a page that she (presumably) made herself and next to it will be the appropriate HTML. Every example also has real life tips, for example on the difference between the browsers (particularly bad old non-compliant IE).

A list of the chapters:

Intro (CSS and browser support, XHTML vs HTML)

1 - Web page building blocks (URLS, Doctypes)
2 - Working with Web Page Files
3 - Basic (X) HTML structure
4 - Basic (X) HTML formatting
5 - Images
6 - Links
7 - Style sheet building blocks
8 - Working with style sheet files
9 - Defining selectors
10 - formatting with styles
11 - Layout with styles
12 - dynamic effects with styles
13 - style sheets for handhelds
14 - style sheets for printing
15 - Lists
16 - Tables
17 - forms
18 - Video, auio and other multimedia
19 - scripts
20 - a taste of javascript
21 - symbols and non english characters
22 - testing and debugging webpages
23 - publishing your pages on the web
24 - getting people to visit
25 - syndication and podcasting

There are some very useful reference apendices at the end, and a colour chart.

My only gripe is that I couldn't find anything about iframes, but I have an old copy of her book and that's in there.

As far as I'm concerned this is the only book on HTML / XHTML and every time she brings out a new version I buy it, as it's always up to date.

Brilliant!

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't think about it, just buy it!, 6 Nov 2002

By	"stokos" - See all my reviews

This review is from: HTML for the World Wide Web with XHTML and CSS. (Visual QuickStart Guide) (Paperback)

I have programmed HTML before, using HTML 3.2, back in 1997. 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!
