Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
This guide is appropriate for those who just need to know enough HTML to get around or who want a convenient, quick reference for the little things they forgot. While far short of a complete course on HTML, this reference is much more than a mere cheat sheet. The signature light-heartedness of the For Dummies series can help make you comfortable if the giant HTML tomes are too daunting.

Topics covered include how to construct basic HTML pages, how to wisely use images on your pages, how to link HTML pages to each other, how to design attractive and effective pages, how to put your pages on the Web, how to use frames, and how to develop style sheets. Three appendices provide quick reference for HTML tags, special symbols, and cascading style sheet properties and values.

The book's design makes referencing as you work particularly easy--the book is compact, takes up very little desk space, and features a comb-bound spine, allowing it to open flat and remain at your selected page. --Elizabeth Lewis --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
No one can memorize the hundreds of HTML tags that make up the 4.01 standard. HTML 4 For Dummies Quick Reference, 2nd Edition provides a guide to all the updated HTML tags as well as easy-to-follow information on building HTML Web pages and sites and posting your work online. Unique to this Quick Reference is a full-color Cheat Sheet that displays 216 colors available for use on a Web page with HTML.

5.0 out of 5 stars My best HTML book (so far), June 23, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: HTML 4 for Dummies Quick Reference (Plastic Comb)

This book is fantastic! I learned enough HTML from this book to start producting my own web pages. It covers all the basics and enough on frames and CSS that I can play around with them also. Being a quick reference, it cuts thru the wordiness of regular texts and gets the the point. It has a color cheat sheet in the front, however I found that it is not a true color reference and I have to use the color palet on one of my HTML editors for true color. Still, it is the best HTML book that I have (so far).

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Quick Reference, February 3, 2000

By	George Clay (Ada, OK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: HTML 4 for Dummies Quick Reference (Plastic Comb)

This is a very handy book. I use it more than any other HTML book that I own, because it is small, and easy to take with me. It's not supposed to be an extensive reference, buy it for what it was intended, and you will be happy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good reference book for beginners., May 28, 1998

By	Craig B. "Craig B." (Kansas City, MO USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: HTML 4 for Dummies Quick Reference (Plastic Comb)

I use this book all the time. The spiral edition was a great idea, it allows me to lay it flat so I can read and work at the same time. Perfect reference tool for learning basic to advanced HTML. Has a very handy color "cheat sheet" in the front to change your font colors quickly, and easily. I recomend this book highly.
