A reference for the advanced HTML programmer,
This review is from: HTML Programmer's Reference (Paperback)
Like the title says it IS a reference book, so if you arelooking for a tutorial, this is NOT the book for you. On the otherhand however, if you are experienced in HTML then this can be an invaluable reference tool.For example, the major part of the book is an alphabetical listing of all the HTML tags supported up to and including version 4. So, if you know the tags it is an excellent reference to ensure that you use them correctly, with cross browser support. For me, the books main strength as a reference aid was its excellent coverage of what is/is not supported by the different browsers (Netscape and IE), and which version of the browser was first to support it. I find that this part is essential as it allows me to decide what to include with reference to my intended audience. I have also used the color reference provided fairly frequently, although you could probably get this info else where. If you are looking for a little help also with JavaScript, you won't find much here, but you are probably better off looking for a dedicated JavaScript reference anyway. All in all, it is always my first line of HTML reference, and rarely, if ever have I needed to go further afield for HTML information. If you are working with HTML professionally this book (or something very similar) is an essential tool and for under $15 is worth anyone's money.

Would not be without it!,
By richard_haydon@hotmail.com (Norway) - See all my reviews
This review is from: HTML Programmer's Reference (Paperback)
It is just what it claims to be - a comprehensive well set out reference. If you are new to the subject matter its a quick way to see "what there is out there", for the expert the detail is there in full.But this is no tutorial, examples are minimal - so if you are learning HTML this is the book for you but NOT the only book!

Excellent Reference Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: HTML Programmer's Reference (Paperback)
Ever since I started making websites, I've always been looking for an HTML reference book. But, I couldn't find any that's good enough. Most HTML books are for beginners or those who wants to understand HTML. NONE of them are purely for reference. This book covers a wide area in HTML and it's really good for people who understands HTML. I highly recommend this book for web designers and HTML programmers.
