Summary: Excellent Reference, Not a Beginner's Book
Review: Despite recent reviews this is a book I plug wherever I go (and that gets much borrowed from other programmers when I am onsite). It is an excellent reference to HTML v.4.x. Organization is the only complaint: Instead of truely encyclopdic it is broken into seven categories like: General-Purpose Elements, Special Characters, Table Elements, Form Elements, etc. I don't even bother with this I go directly to the index and find what I need. Saves time (but I agree you really shouldn't have to do this).However, the examples are very good and the coverage is excellent. Well worth picking up a copy. Don't let the title fool you into thinking that you will learn HTML from it, this is a reference not a teaching book.

Summary: Excellent reference material.
Review: Excellent reference. I keep it open on my desk whenever I'm working with HTML. Gives you everything you need to know and is organized very well. If there is any criticism it is that you may be overwhelmed by the amount of info provided!

Summary: Best reference I have
Review: I am a professional web application developer. Since I often forget the details of HTML attributes and format, this book comes in handy for me. I can easily find everything I need and can easily put the information to use. The book is logically divided into sections on general, table, form and frame elemnts. It also has sections on the Microsoft and Nescape extensions, plus cascading style sheets. Since I got the book, other developers are coming to my desk and asking to use it. If you need to know every little detail about every HTML tag, this is the reference book for you. Note that this is NOT a book for beginners to use to learn how to write HTML. That is evident if you look inside, but some may be fooled by the title.

Summary: The code you need - Now.
Review: This book does exactly what it says. It gives you all the recent HTML (3.2) tags in plain english, with a brief explanation of how to use them, when, where and why. It's perfect for those who like coding their own pages, but don't want to learn off every HTML tag in existence. It's for people who simply want the tags they need, when they need them (with a small explanation to refresh the memory). This book is definitely a must for anyone coding a web page. It's a one-stop HTML 3.2 tag reference manual (from headers to meta tags to java applets to cascading style sheets and beyond), that will quickly and easily provide you with the information you want, without throwing in a headache for free

Summary: Best HTML reference book I've purchased so far.
Review: This is an excellent book for your library. It describes you all the recent HTML (including 4.0) tags in plain english, with a brief explanation of when, where, why and how to use them. HTML tags are grouped in catagories (e.g, Frames or Tables etc.). If an attribute is only supported by Netscape or MSIE browser, it's description is preceded with as icon. The note section tells you the origin and history of the tag (HTML 2.0 or HTML 4.0 etc.). If you are planning to code HTML by hand, or you simply save source for an HTML to understand how it works, this is an excellent source. It is also for people who simply want the tags they need, when they need them. It is a one-stop HTML reference for headers to meta to java script to cascading style sheets and everything in between and beyond. Appendix - A contain a complete list of elements by HTML version and activity including Netscape and Microsoft extensions. This book is definitely a must for anyone working with Web Pages.
