Rather than haul around some massive tome on web page authoring, get this handy spiral-bound guide to all the popular supported HTML tags. They're all listed alphabetically with syntax and rules. Navigator- and IE-specific information is clearly identified. I use Microsoft Front Page to develop the initial drafts of my pages, and then use this book to clean out the extra garbage so that both Navigator and IE users can use them. This book is a good value for programmers.

The guide is very well laid out with simple examples and do's and dont for each html tag. Nice for people who have just a little experience and still very useful for the advance htmler.

The main things that I like about this book is that it is small, light-weight, and easy to find things in. I carry it in my briefcase, so that I can use it at home, as well as at the office. There is nothing so far that I have needed to know the syntax of that I haven't found right away in Hip Pocket Guide. It is not a thorough, in-depth reference to HTML, but it is just the thing when you can't remember the format or allowable attributes of an HTML tag.

I will be purchasing the HTML 4.0 version.

Good indexes and some accurate guidance. Mostly it is great. The authors seem to be more familliar with the extensions from Microsoft than Netscape. It seems somewhat incomplete for example: Netscape 3.0+ supports WIDTH and HEIGHT attributes of INPUT TYPE=Image and can scope FONT around H3 and OL neither of these are listed.
