This guide contains detailed information about HTML 3.2 through tutorials, theory and references. The 16 chapters include examples of why and when to use specific aspects of HTML. Tags new to HTML 3.2 are highlighted. The book also features a 300-page alphabeticized reference section to HTML and a style-sheet reference guide. Information to support both Netscape and Miscrosoft's Internet Explorer are included. In addition, the source code for the book is posted on Osborne's Web site for easy access. While it focuses on many technologies, the book is concerned with how HTML intersects with those technologies rather than attempting to discuss all aspects of the individual technologies. Both a basic introduction to HTML, and a detailed reference section of actual tags and features are provided. There is also information on WebTV, style sheets, and new Netscape 4.0 and Internet Explorer 4.0 tags.

Review:
Most HTML books don't bother to give beginners an introduction to the workings of the World Wide Web because the Web doesn't directly influence writing HTML documents. Powell provides this information because it eventually makes it easier for readers to understand why their HTML Web sites behave as they do. The result is a book well suited to beginning, intermediate, and advanced readers. Beginners learn HTML from the very basics. Intermediate users will gain the knowledge to become advanced, and even old pros will discover new details and updated information.

Powell begins the book with introductory chapters that discuss HTML and Web background and set the limits of what HTML coding alone can accomplish. From there he moves into lessons in basic HTML and progresses chapter by chapter to such high-end topics as advanced layout techniques, how to standardise Web-page presentation among browsers with style sheets, programmed Web pages, and client-side scripting and programming. The six appendices finish the book with a wealth of easy-to-use quick- reference information. --Elizabeth Lewis, Amazon.com

From the Publisher:
Provides an overview of the state of HTML (including the introduction of X-HTML) and provides updated examples that reflect the introduction of Netscape Navigator 6 and Internet Explorer 5.5.
Solid background descriptions and usage examples for individual tags. Includes several hundred pages of reference material-a comprehensive listing of the tags that make up HTML along with notation on which environments support what tags.
Incorporates introduction to the World Wide Web as it makes it easier for readers to understand why their HTML Web sites behave as they do.
Author's companion website (identical content on the Osborne site) includes examples of layout and allows visitors to "lift" this HTML for their own uses.
Thomas Powell has great visibility within the web design community and in the classes he teaches.
