Product Description

From Amazon

The entire "For Dummies" series is no insult -- these are consistently some of the best introductions to their topics available. For beginners, even using an HTML editor is daunting. In clear language and with a dose of humor at every turn, the authors lead you through creating a web page, making it shine and taming some of the trickier aspects of web pages like CGI programming. The cartoons sprinkled throughout the book are marvelous. Don't miss the "Top Ten HTML Dos and Don'ts" or "Ten Design Desiderata." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Book Description

New Web authoring tools such as Claris Home Page, Microsoft FrontPage, and Adobe PageMill almost take care of all the HTML markup needed to build great-looking Web pages. Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, the spirit of innovation rages on at companies like Netscape and Microsoft -- and stays well-ahead of even the best Web authoring tools. That's why it pays to have the completely updated HTML For Dummies, 3rd Edition, on hand so that you peer under the hood of your Web pages to add Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer enhancements, JavaScript, ActiveX, and Java applets that heighten the functionality and style of your whole Web site. Plus, Web pros Ed Tittel and Steven N. James share their savvy advice on when and when not to use nonstandard HTML tags, including how to accommodate visitors using early, less capable browsers, and how to organize a large Web site so that it makes sense to you and your visitors. Best of all, HTML For Dummies, Third Edition, includes a bonus disk containing HTML templates, software, and other terrific resources to help you build great Web pages fast.

This review is from: HTML For Dummies (Paperback)

This book is great if you need to know the basics of HTML. I refer over to it if there is something I am looking to do for my webpage. It is easy to understand, especially if you aren't a technical person. If you want to learn basic HTML, this is a great book to get you started building webpages.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, Jan 28 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: HTML For Dummies (Paperback)

Unfortunately this book suffers from a failure to live up to its own hype. There are too many gaps in this so-called "beginner's text", and there are far too many parts of the text where no example is given except in the CD --- which is practicaly unplayable. PURCHASER'S CAVEAT --- This book will NOT allow you to set up your own web page based only on information contained within it. A disgrace to the usually dependable "Dummies" series.

1.0 out of 5 stars Html for dummies, Nov 15 2002

James Burnett (Omaha,, Ne. United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: HTML For Dummies (Paperback)

This book leaves out the basics of how to use the code. It uses code with no explanation. The explanations add no value. The index is incomplete in most cases. It was very poorly done. I am not a dummy. I was looking for a book that explained how to write html pages and use the language. This book dwells too much on how to write a pretty web page. It leaves out how to use the html code. It has no value for me. Don't buy this book.. You will be sorry and won't learn anything from it.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Ripoff of Dummies
This was my first "Dummies" book, so perhaps I did not know what to expect. I was expecting a "how-to" book with lots of worked examples. This was not it. Read more
