5.0 out of 5 stars The only HTML book I ever use.
I have been a web professional since '94, and I love this book. It is simply a list of all the HTML, no gibberish, no trying to teach me what good design is (I already know that!).

It's the flat head screwdriver of any proffesionals toolbox, simple, but indespensible.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very confusing layout - not recommended
This book is very comprehensive and I liked the fact that it was easy to tell which tags were compliant with which browsers, but it's impossible to find anything because every tag and every tag attribute has it's own listing, and if you look up a tag you then have to turn to 10 different pages to read about the attributes for the tag. It takes FOREVER to find anything in...

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent format, has some errors and needs more examples, December 28, 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: Html Quick Reference (Paperback)
The layout of the book is excellent. I did find some errors (even with my very limited knowledge of the subject).

I'd like to have seen another section in the book that would have expanded the examples and described some of the options for the commands in greater detail.

I realize that the book is a reference book rather than an HTML tutorial, but it's layed out so nicely I think just a little more information would really make the book a "10"!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have for HTML authors at all levels, October 11, 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: Html Quick Reference (Paperback)
This book gives a complete, easy-to-understand, reference
to EVERY HTML command. The book is organized alphabetically
by command, with quicktables referencing all commands relevent
to different topics. It also indicates the compliance of
each command to Netscape, Internet Explorer, Mosaic/XMosaic,
HTML 2, and HTML 3.2.

1.0 out of 5 stars Thumbs down!, April 12, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Html Quick Reference (Paperback)
I'm a web professional, and I must rate this book as *very* inadequate!! One wonders why "button" or "checkbox" is nowhere in the index to find.
Or why "target" is not mentioned at all.
If a novice were to use this book he NEVER would discover that a graphics could serve as a hyperlink. IT JUST ISN'T IN THERE!

This book is very anoying. I have never bought a book so unfit for it's stated purpose: a guick concise html reference.

A book like this should lead you to the commands you need. If one knew html in and out a reference book wouldn't be needed in the first place
