Hybrid HTML Design by Jean Warner and Kevin Ready
New Riders Publishing, 1996, 412 pages, paperback, $35.00
by Ruth Mountaingrove
You've just put your web page on Netscape and it looks beautiful.
But have you checked it out on America on Line or Compuserve?
Yeech! What has happened to your beautiful design? Where have the
buttons gone? Why is everything on the left side or in a straight
line with no breaks? Why has the picture you put in changed to
that size? Where are the frames?
The answers to these questions and the solutions, as much as is
possible, are in the book Hybrid HTML Design. Here you will learn
what tags to use to accommodate not only Netscape which is
probably the most complex and developed browser but you will also
be able to make it possible for aol'ers and other more primitive
browsers to enjoy your work. HTML is the abbreviation for
HyperTextMarkup Language.
A feature I like very much is the step by step explanations with
photographs of browsers showing you what each browser will do to
your web page. The HTML document behind each page is printed out.
Tags are explained. Browsers that don't recognize HTML tags are
illustrated with photographs showing what that looks like. Not
pretty.
The browsers dealt with are Netscape Navigator 2 and 3, Internet
Explorer 2, Oracle Power Browser 1, Hot Java Alpha 1, NCSA Mosaic
2, Compuserve Spry Mosaic, America On-line 2.4, Prodigy, Cyberdog,
PointCast, the Lynx browser and others.
While you may be tempted, as I was, to buy PageMill 1, I realized
as soon as I got it that I still needed to learn some HTML because
PageMill is limited, They admit this in their user guide which
accompanies the disk.
The book also deals with server issues assuming of course you want
to be your own server. This implies that you are doing a lot of
web work and need your own space on the net.
Accompanying the book is a Hybrid HTML Design CD-ROM with Gif
Builder, Debabelizer lite, Plug-ins including Shockwave for
Freehand, and Director, Crescendo, Future Splash, Photo Bubbles.
There is also Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Also included are demos of the Oracle Power Browser, Micromedia
Director 5, and Shockwave. Shareware of BBedit, BBedit lite, World
Wide Web Weaver, Adobe PageMill 1 and HTML Assistant Pro 2. Demos,
meaning you can play but not save. In addition there are Adobe
PhotoShop 3.05, Illustrator 6, Fetch 1.2, Premier 4.0.1, PageMaker
6 and much more, like conversion programs, and lots more
information on Hybrid HTML Design.
The book and CD-Rom are an excellent combination. The demos make
it possible to have hands-on experience before buying expensive
software. Janine Warner and Kevin Reading have created a well
thought out tool for the webster.
