All (90%) what a Webmaster need's

This book is a great help for Webmaster and Internet application developer. This book is easy to use and easy to understand (the great help for it are many samples).The only thing what lack's this book is the notes for every tag or function about the browser. Because we all know, that some tags and functions we use only for MSIE and some only for NN. This is a little bit confusing to try run on NN a tag, what should be used only for MSIE.

Great Reference

This reference is certainly one of the best available. The author includes a CD with examples from the book, however the sample pages are very juvenile and difficult to look at. These pages are almost insulting to a professional Web designer. But, if you don't get hung up on the poor quality of the CD, the book itself is well written and complete, although I would like to see more short examples of syntax and usage for every tag. If I knew how to apply the tag, I would not be looking it up.

VERY comprehensive reference!

I was walking out of the book store the other day and I hadn't found a reference book for HTML...I was disappointed. Just before I hit the door this book caught my eye sitting on a web-development display. I picked it up (hefty book!) and thumbed through it...WOW! Not only does it cover HTML, but it also covers Cascading Style Sheets, DHTML, XML and MathML. You won't find examples for every entry (that would probably add a few thousand more pages) but at least you will have a reference/cross-reference to declarations, methods, elements, concepts, and just about any other tiny morsel of you could imagine.

FANTASTIC - EASY TO USE!!

Such a great book! Alphabetically listed HTML tags and cross references make finding whatever you need so easy!
