This book was great

I got this book when I started scripting, and now that I have multiple years experience I still use it for reference. This is agreat book and I highly recommend it.

I bought this book before I owned a computer and learned everything I needed to know to get started. I still use it as a reference guide and have never purchased another book on HTML. I'm just now browsing for a guide to update me on HTML 4 and CGI.

I just have to say this is the greatest book ever written. Why? Because it's MY web site that is featured in Chapter 3, Fig 3.12! It's under the heading of "The Wrong Stuff: What Not to Put on the Web"

I never got any royalty money out of the deal either, whats up with that? Can I sue for defamation of web site? Hmmm... probably not, but since it's the first site I ever made back when I was a freshman in Highschool, and now it's immortalized in print - I forgive him.

Greatest book ever written!

This book was recommended to me when I was asked to write web pages for a friend's business. Within the first hours I was experimenting with different layouts and managed to get some impressions good enough to see using explorer, netscape, mosaic etc. After a couple of weeks I have written pages for three companies. This book never leaves me and I have not yet found another reference with so many ideas and handy hints. It is full of excellent web addresses for getting new ideas and help. The CD has lots of software. I cannot recommend this book highly enough

Sorry, but I have to disagree with the reviews so far. I my opinion this is the worst book from QUE-Books I have ever read (most of the QUE-books are really good). The author never explains the essential details about HTML, he always strays into simple, unneccessary details or into complicated, unneccessary details, but never gets to the point what is really useful. And if there's the rare occasion something is really explained, it will be repeated at least five times... I don't want to say the author doesn't know what he is writting about, he simply just don't know how to write...
