    About this ebook

    "...lucid, in-depth descriptions of the behavior of every HTML tag on every major browser and platform, plus enough dry humor to make the book a pleasure to read."
    --Edward Mendelson, PC Magazine

    "When they say 'definitive' they're not kidding."
    --Linda Roeder, About.com

    Put everthing you need to know about HTML & XHTML at your fingertips. For nearly a decade, hundreds of thousands of web developers have turned to HTML & XHTML: The Definitive Guide to master standards-based web development. Truly a definitive guide, the book combines a unique balance of tutorial material with a comprehensive reference that even the most experienced web professionals keep close at hand. From basic syntax and semantics to guidelines aimed at helping you develop your own distinctive style, this classic is all you need to become fluent in the language of web design.

    The new sixth edition guides you through every element of HTML and XHTML in detail, explaining how each element works and how it interacts with other elements. You'll also find detailed discussions of CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), which is intricately related to web page development. The most all-inclusive, up-to-date book on these languages available, this edition covers HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0, and CSS2, with a preview of the upcoming XHTML2 and CSS3. Other topics include the newer initiatives in XHTML (XForms, XFrames, and modularization) and the essentials of XML for advanced readers. You'll learn how to:

    • Use style sheets to control your document's appearance
    • Work with programmatically generated HTML
    • Create tables, both simple and complex
    • Use frames to coordinate sets of documents
    • Design and build interactive forms and dynamic documents
    • Insert images, sound files, video, Java applets, and JavaScript programs
    • Create documents that look good on a variety of browsers

    The authors apply a natural learning approach that uses straightforward language and plenty of examples. Throughout the book, they offer suggestions for style and composition to help you decide how to best use HTML and XHTML to accomplish a variety of tasks. You'll learn what works and what doesn't, and what makes sense to those who view your web pages and what might be confusing. Written for anyone who wants to learn the language of the Web--from casual users to the full-time design professionals--this is the single most important book on HTML and XHTML you can own.

    Bill Kennedy is chief technical officer of MobileRobots, Inc. When not hacking new HTML pages or writing about them, "Dr. Bill" (Ph.D. in biophysics from Loyola University of Chicago) is out promoting the company's line of mobile, autonomous robots that can be used for artificial intelligence, fuzzy logic research, and education.

    Chuck Musciano began his career as a compiler writer and crafter of tools at Harris Corporations' Advanced Technology Group and is now a manager of Unix Systems in Harris' Corporate Data Center.

    • 4/5
      Easy to understand and easy to use. Great Guide!
    • 5/5
      This is an excellent introduction to creating web pages using raw HTML commands.
    • 5/5
      This book is easy to understand. It's a good place to start if you want to make a basic website.
    • 2/5
      This is not a *bad* book, but it's far far less than it should be.The basic problem is that it's a fourth edition; the world has changed immensely since the book was first written, but the book has not changed in parallel. So what we have is basically a guide to how to write c1997 HTML, with all its implicit junk of incompatible browsers and appearance-based markup, on top of which has been added a thin veneer of the new world of XML/XHTML and CSS. What the world deserves is a decent book that *starts* with XML, semantic markup and CSS in the first chapters, proceeds to XHTML, and never once wastes our time telling us how to do things to work around a bug in some lame version of IE from 1999.
