These days, HTML changes about once a month, and if you have been learning HTML all along, all you'll need is this guide to keep up. It takes about two hours to browse the entire guide; you can look up a particular format in the index. An exceptionally useful book for people who use HTML in their daily lives; collections supporting beginners should look to Weinman, below.

5.0 out of 5 stars Right here on my desk, August 11, 2000

By 

Susan Paxton - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hip Pocket Guide to HTML 4 (Plastic Comb)

This is an exceptionally useful reference to HTML 4 that I keep on my desk for looking things up as I work on my web sites. It's also a book I recommended highly to customers when I sold computer books in a previous job. If you're somewhat familiar with HTML, this is a perfect reference, and has the advantage of being comb bound so it doesn't snap shut while you're using it. If you want a book with which to learn HTML, this isn't it (Elizabeth Castro's "HTML 4 Visual Quickstart Guide" is), but if you use HTML daily, this is a necessary book to have and keep handy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Compact reference, with errors and omissions, December 20, 1999

By 

steven wort@wort - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hip Pocket Guide to HTML 4 (Plastic Comb)

I find this book a great compact reference. It's unfortunate that it has a number of errors, and some missing information.

For me, The compact size is of more importance than a few small errors, which I try and mark up anyway.

Its a bit annoying that the web site is STILL NOT available (Dec 1999)

I havent found another book that comes close to being as useful as a handy reference.

What I really want though, is a book that discusses not just the standard, but what each browser actually supports at each version!

5.0 out of 5 stars HTML Coder's Delight!, November 18, 1999

By 

PattiMc - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hip Pocket Guide to HTML 4 (Plastic Comb)

This is NOT a beginners book. If you can write the basics of HTML but find yourself stumbling on various attributes, this is the book you need. This guide provides an easy list of tags, indexed on the inside covers for quick reference to page numbers. Point and click is the only thing easier! This is HTML to GO! Loose the mondo source books! This one fits in my PURSE!
