OK but ... (0/3 people found this helpful)
Covers the subject - XHTML & CSS - well enough albeit in a rather chatty style. My main gripe is the extremely poor quality of diagrams/pictures. For a book that covers a subject that, in the authors own words, "Users craved - demanded, even - color!" it is appalling that the same author has produced a book without a single solitary instance of colour anywhere (other than the front cover). Most of the illustrations are screenshots that can only be described as poor quality, fuzzy and grey-scale only. Example text is typically shown as "displayed in red", and a textual description of colour charts beggars belief. A shame because this ruins what would have been a good book and distracts from the actually quite informative content.
A Classic (5/5 people found this helpful)
Clear, straightforward, well written - all that so many IT books are not. This book enables any web author, novice or expert, to write markup fully compliant with the latest standards, while catering for the foibles of non-compliant browsers. Never has hand coding a website seemed so simple, or the interaction between XHTML and CSS to control the page layout. Don't overlook the links to the free W3C online validation services.
