1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth it, March 9, 2000

I consider myself an intermidate web designer who likes to hand code pages.I took a chance purchasing this cd-rom and paid the price. The information was shallow and uninformative. It provided no insight into HTML elements, only simple examples. Experienced users would find it useless. Novices will find it confusing. Save you money and time, get a real reference.

Well, what can I say? I was hoping for a lot more based on the price of this CD. The CD contains 3.82 MB of info, that's it. DHTML examples? only 3. CSS examples? Only the product itself. The format is a welcome screen that takes you to 5 different options, which are nothing more than a table of contents. It lists attributes and tags in HTML 4 and CSS level2, with a VERY LIMITED example scope for each attribute.

On the plus side: relatively elegant layout. It does tell you what CSS works with what versions of browsers. On the negative side: it doesn't do the same for HTML. Bottom line? A $3.95 2-page reference chart can get you the exact same information cheaper and quicker. Stick to paper-based products.
