    HTML & XHTML: The Definitive Guideby Anonymous

    November 29, 2000: There are numerous (maybe even too many) HTML books on the market, but this one is truly an excellent reference book. And it's current enough to even include chapters on XML and the 'hybrid' of XML and HTML called XHTML. With the wealth of information, I found several new 'tricks' I never knew about or even thought of. I always love finding out about new things I can try out in HTML with the several web sites I maintain. Among the topics covered? A 'history' of HTML, text manipulation, links, cascading style sheets, forms, tables, frames, even some information about JavaScript. And the book also includes tags that have become obsolete, as well as tags that have been 'deprecated (i.e. ones that the W3C folk would rather you didn't use, but most browsers will still support for the near future!).' Always nice to get a sense of 'history' about how HTML has developed and changed over the last few years. A truly excellent and comprehensive HTML resource.
