Product Description
An essential update to the key web authoring standards of HTML, XHTML, and CSS
The existence of Web pages depends on three vital technologies: HTML (base language that Web pages are written in), XHTML (standards that define how to write HTML pages), and CSS (standard that applies formatting styles to Web pages). This new edition provides you with critical coverage of these three Web authoring standards, and places special focus on the upcoming releases of HTML 5 and CSS 3.
Serving as a tutorial and reference, this comprehensive resource explains the basic structure and necessary formatting to create a static (non-changing) and dynamic (changing) page on the Internet.
- HTML, XHTML, and CSS are the three major Web authoring standards for creating either a static or dynamic Web page
- Guides you through using HTML to create Web documents and introduces updates to HTML 5
- Demonstrates best practices for using tools and utilities to create Web documents
- Includes coverage of the new CSS 3 and tips and tricks for maximizing its abilities
Helpful examples round out this essential guide and will get you up and running with HTML, XHMTL, and CSS in no time!

This is not worth the money,
By
This review is from: HTML, XHTML, and CSS Bible (Paperback)
I'm very disappointed with this book. It is very badly organized. Topics are often repeated, many times they are left incomplete and often they are scattered throughout the book. There are errors too. The book refers to an Appendix C, which does not exist. There are not enough examples of code nor are there enough examples of the rendering of the completed code. Far too much attention is given to explaining what happened in the past (who cares?) and the quality of the written english is also very bad. Some sentences defy translation. This is not a masterpiece. Thanks

This review is from: HTML, XHTML, and CSS Bible (Paperback)
All tags explained with examples.But you must be aware it is HTML 4.01, CSS 2.1, XHTML 1.1 so some recent tags and codes are not there.

Disappointed,
By Opera Browser User - www.opera.com - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: HTML, XHTML, and CSS Bible (Paperback)
The title is misguiding. It's everything but an HTML, XHTML & CSS Bible. Title should read "Become a webmaster in a month". I expected to have:- The full HTML Specification with an example for each definition - Same for XHTML (DTD, rules to respect, validation, etc...) - Same for CSS and *PLEASE*, at least the basics of tableless CSS layout If the book were to expose the aforementioned information, it would exceed the 800 pages, and the author wouldn't have had to put some more information that is useful, I agree, but it's off-topic, sorry. The author should stress a lot more on standards. Standards are important, and one can't call a book a "Bible" if it only covers 75% of HTML, 50% of XHTML and hardly covers basics of CSS. It lacks information on the PNG file format (open source). Mention of the Opera Browser is almost non-existent, even if it's the most standard-compliant browser. Using tables to create a layout is old-fashioned and many good books (by Dan Cederholm, Jeffrey Zeldman or Eric Meyer) proove that one should *NOT* use tables for layout so that structure and content are clearly seperated from presentation. Without this discipline, the web won't be able to evolve toward XML. The book talks about image retouching, which again is off-topic, pretty much like SMIL, multimedia, FTP, maintainance, databases, weblogs, PHP & MySQL. I noticed several errors, and then I stopped writing them down. These are some of them: - p.93 PNG, is stored without being compressed doesn't loose color or image quality, and does support transparency. At least this can be achieved in Photoshop CS. - p.108 I find it sad that the author doesn't show how image maps are done with circles and polygons - chap.9 "Special characters" should show a sample for every single entity - p.184 The author puts the e-mail address into the code. How is it possible?! With all the spam problems people keep complaining, how come the author doesn't display the e-mail address thanks to a javascript to hide it from spambots? - p.188 in Part III instead of in Part II - p.210 He forgot that the label tag can nest the radio button and the text without ID. - p.284 div.div1 table should read div.div1>table - All examples are shown in IE or Netscape 4. Why not show modern browsers (Opera 7.8, Mozilla 1.8, Firefox 1.0) - p.379 user agent is not Opera but Firebird This is not a bad book, it has a lot of useful information, but what drove me nuts is that I wanted a "Bible" for these 3 languages. I had to buy other books. I hope now people who buy this book know it's a general-purpose book on web design. 18 of 19 people found the following review helpful

Not a Reference,
By Richard Cabral - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: HTML, XHTML, and CSS Bible (Paperback)
If you are an experienced coder looking for an strict HTML, XHTML, or CSS reference, I suggest you move on to another title. If you are a novice in HTML using a WYSIWYG editor and want to start getting into the HTML code itself, then this is a good book for you. I bought this book to refresh myself in HTML, and CSS being away from it for several years. I program in VB and VC++ and have many programming references that are excellent and very concise. Unfortunately this book is neither. The writers persistently wander off on long winded tangents that seem to ramble on and on.... and on! The analogies had me scratching my head wondering just what exactly the comparative <sp> was? There are many small chapters in the last half of the book that are nothing but fluff and offer no real information.In closing, there is useful information in this book for the novice. However it is not complete or in any particular order. Happy hunting. 18 of 22 people found the following review helpful

Perfect Textbook for Beginners,
By David J. Lauridsen Jr. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: HTML, XHTML, and CSS Bible (Paperback)
I have used this book as a textbook for an "Introduction to HTML" class I taught. I looked at several references prior to choosing on one, and this was by far the best formatted and most appropriate for those with little to no existing knowledge of HTML.The previous reviewer's complaints are mostly unfounded, in my opinion. The appendix contains a more or less comprehensive listing of all HTML tags and their usage, etc. The chapters are well organized, easy to read, and comprehensive. If this book spreads itself a little thin at times trying to cover so much ground, it is necessary due to the inherently connected nature of HTML, XHTML, and CSS. Covering only HTML would not be useful for beginners who want to gain a basic understanding of these technologies. I assume the "HTML 4 Bible" by the same publisher is more what the previous reviewer was probably looking for. I highly recomend this book to anyone wishing to learn HTML. |
