If HTML, XHTML, and CSS can do it, you can do it too...

Whether hand–coded or created by a visual editor, static or dynamic, most Web pages rely on HTML. The more you know about this language and its companion technologies, XHTML and CSS, the more flexible, creative, and effective your Web site will be. This all–new reference covers the latest updates and dramatic improvements in all three. You’ll learn which tools help you achieve specific results, how CSS enables consistent formatting, the most efficient way to code and use HTML, and so much more.

Inside, you’ll find complete coverage of HTML, XHTML, and CSS

  • Understand how the Web works and the importance of the W3C® in establishing and maintaining standards
  • Review the basic parts of a Web page and how they interact
  • Discover how to maintain consistency with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
  • Create style rules, understand inheritance, and match elements by name, class, or identifier
  • Learn to select the best Web technology for the objective you want to achieve
  • Manage images, fonts, lists, links, tables, and special characters
  • Explore tools and methodology for testing, publishing, and maintaining Web content
  • Follow best practices in developing structured, accessible content and protecting it online
  • Find out which peripheral Web technologies are most valuable in the long run

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent reference for begginers and intermediate, 25 Oct 2004
By Antonio Oliveira "tomane23" (Aveiro, Portugal) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is very easy to read.
The chapters are very well arranged and cover the subjects in a sequential manner.
It starts with plain HTML formatting and later on introduces CSS, after we are familiar with the HTML tags. This arrangement allows to learn easily to build your pages without complicating from the very beggining. If you are familiar with HTML you can just skip a few chapters but I recomed reading them anyway, because there is always something usefull to learn from them.
It's an excellent companoin book to have near the computer when writing HTML or even dynamic pages.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not enough XHTML, too much deprecated HTML, 14 Mar 2005
I bought this book hoping that it would teach me to build a correct XHTML web site. I must say that I'm very pleased with it but probably for the wrong reasons. It does focus on XHTML but not as much as one would expect. Being XHTML the current version of HTML it is incredible the amount of text dedicated to cover HTML 4. Although the autor's point out once or twice that this or that procedure is not correct anymore, they keep insisting on using those deprecated methods on many of the examples troughout the book. On the other hand the book covers so many subjects that are helpfull even if they only scratch the surface. Usability, Accessibility, XML and and other essential subjects are addressed in a way that is very easy to understand and gives you a start on those subjects.
Good if you are a novice web developer, not very helpfull if you already know the basics and want to learn Strict XHTML.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal for those with a basic but limited knowledge of HTML, 30 Dec 2004
I bought this book to update my rather basic knowledge of website development to the latest standards and to acquire insight into the more formal aspects of HTML and CSS. This book was to help me in an ambitious, forthcoming update for my photography portfolio website, www.wolfkettler.co.uk.

The book delivered everything I had hoped for. I read it front to back in (nearly) one go, scanning the parts that were already familiar and reading carefully some of the more advanced techniques. The book is extremely well laid out and follows a logical path of progression, so it is easy to pick only the topics that you need. I would recommend reading the whole book anyway - there is something useful and new in every chapter.

I am not entirely sure that it is ideally suited to those with absolutely no previous HTML knowledge. However, for people with a basic, limited knowledge of HTML it is an invaluable guide to extending and updating that expertise. You also want to keep it by your desk as a useful reference.

3.0 out of 5 stars Slightly disappointing
