Items related to HTML 4.01 Programmers Reference (Programmer to programmer)
Synopsis
HTML is the language of the web. If you need to build a web page, then you'll have to start with HTML. The most recent specification: HTML 4.01 defines several new features including expanded support for multimedia, style sheets (including aural style sheets, and the new CSS specifications), scripting, and new accessibility and internationalization standards. HTML 4.01 also includes updated support for familiar features such as text formatting, hyperlinking, forms, frames, and tables, and supports the very latest browser versions including Internet Explorer 6, Netscape 6 and Opera 5.
HTML Programmer's Reference (4.01 Edition) covers all these new and established features in detail and provides you with the knowledge and the skills to write great web pages that will be supported by all major browsers.

Review
Suitable for almost anyone who develops Web applications, HTML 4.01 Programmer's Reference provides a thorough tour of HTML and related standards, covering every tag and attribute in the new 4.01 standard.
The strength of this book is that it serves as a guide to some of the best thinking in Web-page design using the latest in approved (and emerging) Internet standards. The authors explain HTML literally from the ground up and cover the structure of Web pages, starting with headers to body tags. Subsequent sections drill down into formatting text and common features like tables, links and images. Throughout the book, the authors provide advice on the right way to do things for good cross-browser Web design. There's plenty on more advanced (and vendor-specific) features in both the Microsoft and Netscape browsers, for example, on frames and cascading style sheets.
The book consistently teaches best practices on what works and what doesn't. Later sections look at "deprecated" or obsolete tags. An appendix that lists every HTML tag and its level of support from HTML 2.0 through 4.01 and on browsers from Netscape and Microsoft from v. 3 through v. 6 more than justifies the cost of this reference.
Besides HTML 4.01 support, the book also offers a glimpse of new or emerging standards that every Web developer arguably should be aware of. From aural style sheets (which provide tags that work with sound and voice), to XHTML 1.0/1.1 and XHMTL Basic (the designated heir to WAP/WML for wireless), HTML 4.01 Programmer's Reference provides a look into the future of Web content. Its cross-browser perspective on some best practices for designing Web content adds yet more value. --Richard Dragan
