I didn't have to learn HTML toward my degree, but I thought it would be a good idea to know it a little. I went to the library and this was the only updated book on HTML and I just picked it. I loved it!!! It is VERY comprehensive, very easy to follow, assignments are interesting. With this book you can study HTML on your own, no need to have an instructor! It has a good introduction to CSS and JavaScript. Main ides are emphasized in tables, lots of helpful illustrations. Very helpful appendices at the end of the book. Recommended!!

This review is from: New Perspectives on Creating Web Pages with HTML and Dynamic HTML, 2nd Edition (Paperback)

The "Includes XHTL coverage throughout" claim on the front cover and the publisher's review is misleading. VERY misleading. While the coverage of the book is well thought out and implemented, the author does NOT use xhtml throughout, proper coverage of xhtml is relegated to a single appendix. The xhtml is what I would call "pseudo-covered" in the rest of the book. For example, proper xhtml requires the use of an xml declarative statement and a DOCTYPE, among other things. The author leaves these out in almost every example. He gets some stuff right like the br / for an xhtml break tag and then totally blows the rest. As an example onMouseOver as an event handler will NOT validate as proper xhtml 1.0 Strict or xhtml 1.1 because xhtml requires all tags and attributes to be totally lowercase and yet the author uses it (among numerous other errors.) If you're going to claim something as teaching xhtml, then you should get it right. If you are learning from this book - great. You'll get a very good foundation. But be aware that Mr. Carey is also teaching you some things that are incorrect. Make sure you validate the scripts at the w3c validator as xhtml 1.1 or xhtml 1.0 strict and you'll see what I mean.
