I purchased this book because of the continuing education units that I could get and because of the support features of the web-based learning offered by e-zone. You do not get any support from e-zone. There are many errors in the book and the CD was incomplete. They say there is an installation chapter in the book to guide you in setting up the software. There is no such chapter. The CD is missing files and you have to go to e-zone to get the fix, but it still doesn't include all the files that you need.

The book is good, but this is really a self-study book. You can't even e-mail e-zone and get a response from them.

The Good: I started reading this book with virtually NO knowledge on HTML and it's related features. "HTML 4 Interactive Course" Gave me a complete view on the different material. It covers just about anything: VBScript,JavaScript,Perl,CGI-BIN, ASP,LiveWire, what else could you ASK for? After reading the Book, you'll know exactly what every one is talking about. However, you will still need to read a book on ASP, Perl and JavaScript, if you want to deal with scripts effeciently. The Bad: No Synchronization between the book and the CD, most of the time, you will find different sources in the text, and on the CD. Their Web Supports, could be much more improved, and their promised on-line mentor is probably sleeping. *Bottom line* - BUY this book to get the overall picture. You can master more specific issues later.

I was very impressed with this book. I went through it and my attention was kept. There are good examples and even some humor. It was very thorough and I would recommend this for anyone who wants to learn HTML.

This is really a great book for anyone who has any questions about HTML. It includes Javascript, style sheets, frames, forms and everything else you need to know to make your own page. A great book!

A better title would have been "HTML 4 A Self- Study Guide". The primary reson I chose this manual was for the online, interactive assistance. After trying the URL given in the book, and attempting to e-mail the publisher several times, without success, I finally used it as a self study guide. As such, it was adequate. If you're looking for a good tutorial, I'm sure you can find better, at a lower cost.

This book was good with some of the stuff in covered but offered little outside help. The CD is poor. It doesn't include the files you need and the trail offers it allows you to have are not the greatest and become hard to delete. All in all if your good at learning things by yourself you might enjoy this book.
