Summary: A Great turotial and reference
Review: I felt compelled to write this, my first review, because I found this book so helpful. Molly H. writes with great clarity and her coverage of the material reflects a genuine conern for the reader/student. The book is an absolute joy to read.You learn something valuable from virtually every sentence and paragraph. Molly has the unique ability of revealing the interconnection between terms making effective use of analogy to drive the idea home. For example, her treatment of the relationship between tags, attributes, and values in chapter 5 is exemplary and leaves you with the feeling that you have acquired a grasp of the material that will never leave you. Now if Molly H. can be persuaded to write a book on XML.

Summary: Affable author, big book, completely covers ABC's of HTML 4
Review: I found this book to be a thorough and comprehensive lesson on understanding and using HTML 4. I started from ground zero and feel that I could competently create decent web pages now (with the book as reference, of course). I also feel like I know the author because of her very personable style in writting this book. This helped in maintaining my interest. It wasn't dry or boring. ...Now if Molly would only write a book on Java for beginners!

Summary: HTML at its very best.
Review: I have been working with and teaching HTML 4.X for over a year now and I finally found the go to reference book. Finally there is a manual that not only covers HTML 4 but also gives you step by step instructions as well. IN the book you will learn tags, attributes and values to masking a better web page. You find information about structure of the document, what to do to format and align text as well as lists. Also covered are topics like images, links, fonts, CSS, tables, frames, forms, JavaScript, DHTML, XHTML and XML, colors, graphics, image maps, animations, video audio, plugins, ASP, CGI, databases, e-commerce, intranets and extranets and finally publishing, this covers over 1,050 pages. The cd-rom that comes with the book included the following: DreamWeaver 2, Homesite 4, HotDog Pro 5.5, MapEdit 2.6, FireWorks2, Flash 4, Netscape 4.7, IE 5, ColdFusion 4.0.1 and other utilities. Most of the software on the cd is in demo version. Overall a very good book for the money.

Summary: Programmers Review
Review: I have found this book and the previous edition very helpfull, to start to teach me web-development. As a programmer I sometimes found certain aspects given to much discussion, but I kept in mind that the book had to be written for everbody. The book covers all the web-stuph I know off, some in more depth, others not so much. What I did like is that it did cover everything, and topics that wasn't discusses in depth, at least gave me idea of the technologies capabilities. No book can cover everything in depth and I found it a great book to start web-development with.

Summary: Special Edition Using HTML 4.0, Sixth Edition
Review: I purchased this book because I had the 5th Edition and a colleague bought it off me. Fortunately I couldn't get version 5.0 and had to buy this one. I found both versions to be extremely powerful reference books with excellent explanations on cutting edge technology. It's such a great reference I take it everywhere - I tested all references to CSS1 and CSS2 and produced extensive examples in different browsers for useability. I have just finished designing over a 1000 page set of Web guidelines for designers at basic, intermediate and advanced level for a big company and this tome has proved invaluable for cross referencing. My co/writer and I, don't refer to the title of the book but simply quote 'Molly' - as far as were concerned she can't do no wrong. I thoroughly recommend the book and will continue to support the Author in future publications. Money well spent! especially at Amazon's Price.

Summary: "A Must-Have Reference for HTML 4"
Review: I read this book from cover to cover. After reading this book you will know: Basic HTML. How to use CSS. What is XML, VRML, DHTML, CGI...(major web technologies). How to desing Web sites. How to publish you Web site to the Web. You won't know: Advanced HTML. How to make forms. You will have: A great reference to HTML 4 and CCS.(The most valuable part of the book, about 200 pages.) A CD with many shareware programs mentioned in the book. This book is simply too thick. By reading it, you can see how the author tries to make it longer. If you need a good HTML 4 reference, buy it. If you want learn a lot of HTML, pick another book. If you got all those little questions about the computer screen, resolution, browsers, colors, graphic files, scanning for the web, if you want to make your Web site look good on as many platforms and browsers as possible, buy this book.

Summary: Sparked my interest

Summary: My web-page bible!
Review: I received this book for Christmas and thought it would be like most other HTML books, rather "incomplete", as in skipping around and not really covering the topics. But, I was terribly wrong! I have been using it for 4 days now, and have read every piece of information on the 165 pages I have consumed hungrily. Even though I already know HTML, this book helped me realise, that, since I taught myself HTML by looking at other people's pages, I learned a slap-dash method, and when I read this book I see all the places where I've gone wrong. It is extremely thorough, and covers all topics you could possibly need to know about HTML 4.0. I think the CD is an extremely good idea, because I didn't have an editing environment already, and I sure didn't have any of the animation tools I will need later on in the book! So, now, I'm fully equipped (as they say). I would reccommend this book to any novice through advanced reader. Everyone can learn something from this book, and have fun doing it! I never thought I would enjoy going through and taking notes and highlighting a 1,000+ page book, but I LOVE IT! I come back from my run every morning and dash to the computer and start working in this book. Please consider this book before any other!
