Summary: Reasonable introduction to HTML and CSS
Review: There wasn't enough on Javascript to really justify the DHTML in the title. Though the book is a reasonable introduction to HTML and CSS. On the positive side I thought the organization was good, the text was easy to read, the use of red to hilight important code fragments, and the reference section were all very good. On the downside I thought the Quick Start format made the book a little hard to read. And the Alice in Wonderland examples weren't always the most appropriate way to illustrate each point. I would have rather had examples that were closer to what we would see in the real world.

Summary: So You Want To Learn CSS?
Review: This book has to be the best Dhtml/CSS book on the market. I have gone from knowing nothing about CSS to learning how to create effective pages using this wonderful new tool. FrontPage users: don't be afraid of investing some time with this book & learning CSS- with the new CSS/Dhtml features in 2002, you will enjoy knowing how to create better code and sites. The author has provided wonderful examples - not just snippets - but full code samples with explanations clear enough for even this novice to understand.

Summary: not too shabby
Review: This book is a pretty easy to follow guide on learning more about web design. I've used other books from this series before and have found them all to be excellent reference guides. It doesn't really get too advanced but it provides you with most of what your looking for (a little more then just the basics). I'm sure all the information found in this book can be easily found online but it's nice to have all the info you need in one place right when you need it.

Summary: THE RULES for implementing CSS/DHTML successfully
Review: This book is required reading for anyone who wants the title of web design guru.It is required that you have a working knowledge of HTML and Javascript prior to reading this book, as it is designed around the much more advanced topic of CSS/DHTML. People with little knowledge of Javascript should get a Javascript tutorial (I recommend SAM's teach yourself...) first. Mr. Cranford-Teague has taken the trouble to explain both the documented use and the real-world implementation of CSS. He has taken away much of the testing that is often required when designing against the CSS2 specification. (He makes mistakes so you don't have to!) His quick reference appendix of what-style-elements-work-where should be the most heavily thumbed pages of any book in your HTML design library. The book is a quick, delightful read with clear, textbook-class examples of every aspect of every CSS specification out there, along with a perfect cross-browser Javascript model that should be the industry standard. The book is small, and cheap enough to keep up with the latest browser platforms. I own all three versions, and so do all my associate developers!

Summary: Great reference book
Review: This book is targeted toward the beginning to intermediate level Web designer who is looking for a great reference to better DHTML and CSS programming. As an intermediate level site-developer, I needed this book to understand the complexities and subtleties of designing a dynamic site without the use of a Flash plug-in. I especially enjoyed some of the rather innovative and engaging examples throughout the book. The author thinks "out of the box" when it comes to showing the reader how to implement some of the advance features of DHTML and CSS. I highly recommend this book if you are looking for a solid DHTML reference that will help you code a professional-looking site. Some history and theory are weaved into this text, which is something that is missed from other reference books these days. This book took much of the guesswork out of writing and tweaking my own DHTML code.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: This is a great reference book, it gets into how to actually do things you're going to want to do. Each CSS facility is described, an example is provided, and has a quick-reading chart showing which browsers it is, or not, compatible with.
Then the author goes on with a wonderful introduction to DHTML, again in his understandable, informative way.
An excellent book with great information you will keep as reference!

Summary: Excellent book, far better than "The Definitive Guide"
Review: This is definitively the best presentation I've seen for beginners and intermediate users. Besides a great reference, it goes beyond the usual "what it is" and gets into how to actually do things you're going to want to do. Each CSS facility is described, an example is provided, and has a quick-reading chart showing which browsers it is (or is not) compatible with. Excellent. But that's only half the book - the author then goes on with a great introduction to Dynamic HTML, again in his clear, concise style. By the end of the book, you should easily be up on the next plateau with your CSS and DHTML skills. I didn't mind the low price, either.

Summary: A Comprehensive Pictorial Must To Enhance Auctions, E-Bay
Review: This is the best book I have seen that makes computer language understandable to someone with just enough HTML knowledge to be dangerous..I had endeavored to teach myself how to make my ads on E-Bay look as good as some I had seen, as these ads obviously sold more product because of their professional look. After spending over a year doing so, I picked up this book out of curiosity, and to my amazement I understood what it was saying! The pictures are such a help,(although they could be a little larger for the over 50 set), it is written in easy to understand language, and I especially appreciate the fact that this author used such imagination to keep it interesting and readable to this and every other Baby Boomer determined to use the WWW to his/her fullest advantage. Is surely has made it easier for me..I can imagine the help it could be to someone with far more knowledge of HTML than myself..but it has plenty to keep me busy and teach me so much more. It has my full endorsement!
