Product Description:
Need to learn HTML fast? This best-selling reference's visual format and step-by-step, task-based instructions will have you up and running with HTML in no time. In this completely updated edition of our best-selling guide to HTML, Web expert and best-selling author Elizabeth Castro uses crystal-clear instructions and friendly prose to introduce you to all of today's HTML and XHTML essentials. You’ll learn how to design, structure, and format your Web site. You'll create and use images, links, styles, lists, tables, frames, and forms, and you'll add sound and movies to your site. Finally, you will test and debug your site, and publish it to the Web. Along the way, you'll find extensive coverage of CSS techniques, current browsers (Opera, Safari, Firefox), creating pages for the mobile Web, and more.

Visual QuickStart Guide--the quick and easy way to learn!
  • Easy visual approach uses pictures to guide you through HTML and show you what to do.
  • Concise steps and explanations get you up and running in no time.
  • Page for page, the best content and value around.
  • Companion Web site at www.cookwood.com/html offers examples, a lively question-and-answer area, updates, and more.


Amazon.com Review:
It's important for anyone who creates Web sites--even those who rely on powerful editors like Dreamweaver or GoLive--to know HTML. The World Wide Web Consortium rewrote HTML as a subset of XML (dubbing it "XHTML 1.0") and the allowable code will eventually be stricter. Tags that are being phased out are labeled "deprecated"--current browsers can still handle them, but if you want your site to keep up with future browsers, not to mention conform to accessibility requirements, you will want to get on top of XHTML.

Of course, Elizabeth Castro manages to write books that not only speak to those who are already fluent in HTML, but are good for newbies too. She makes it a breeze to create sites that are visually stylish and technically sophisticated without the expense of buying an editor.

Among the topics covered in her new book, HTML for the World Wide Web with XHTML and CSS: using the (relatively newer) structural tags (like doctype and div); correctly using older tags (like p and img) that have been modified in XHTML; writing XHTML so that formatting is done by the style sheets; writing those style sheets (cascading style sheets, a.k.a. "CSS"); creating a variety of layouts; and dealing with tables, frames, forms, multimedia, a bit of JavaScript (including mouseovers), WML (for mobile device displays), debugging, publishing, and publicizing your site.

As with all Visual QuickStart Guides, this one features clear and concise instructions side by side with well-captioned illustrations and screen shots that show both the source code and the resulting effect on the Web page. The index is extremely detailed, making this a great reference.

Also great for reference are the outstanding appendices. The first is an extensive list of tags and attributes, indicating which are deprecated and/or proprietary and on which page they are discussed. A similar appendix shows CSS properties and values; given the future of Web coding, this chart alone is worth the price of the book. Other handy charts cover intrinsic events, symbols and character Unicodes, and an expanded color chart that goes way beyond the virtually archaic Web-safe palette. All of which makes this a definite must-have for every Web designer's bookshelf. --Angelynn Grant

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - a good complement
This book functions as a concise teaching reference book. I found this text to be an excellent complement, filling in the details and practical knowledge needed to create working web pages. I started with the Head First HTML book:Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML, then read this book to get tips on how to implement pages in the "real world." Castro makes no bones about pointing out the elements that are "deprecated" (going to be phased out someday), but still commonly used.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Poor choice for beginners
The style and layout of this book is awful. It is difficult to understand and unstructured. I never knew if she was discussing HTML or CSS. The author jumps from subject to subject and does not provide clear examples. To further complicate things, she relies on obscure data about Barcelona in ALL the examples.
Trying to learn a new subject while being mercilessly tortured with useless information about a foreign city and then bombarded with very colorful images at every turn made reading this ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent Book!
This book really gave me a lot of insight on the fundamentals of Web design. It takes you step by step through the processes of hand writing the Web code. It was a lot of help for me, and I plan on keeping this book for future reference.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - HTML, XHTML & CSS
This book is really well written and gave me confidence that I could build a web site for myself. Ms. Castro has taken each building block carefully and walked the reader through the steps with examples at each level. What I really liked was that she continually provides reminders of previously covered details and notes places later in the text where more details will emerge. Also, she provides a continuous example that matures slowly with the text. That way the reader can concentrate on the new information ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - great textbook!
I bought this book as a required reading for my web design level 1 class. My teacher likes it as a reference and I like the way it is written. Easy to follow with gotcha's and tips well laid out. I would recommend it for anyone trying to learn how to build a website with CSS.
