Review
Written with the novice Webmaster in mind, this compact book walks you through most of the common problems that you will encounter when you first start to learn the vagaries of the Web. Most of the problems in this book count as the tiny annoyances that the beginner doesn't have the time to research and fix: "How do you indent a column of text?" and "The radio buttons have a square background behind them!" are examples of the sorts of problems you can expect to rectify with this book. Occasionally the problems touch on more advanced issues, like "My connection string isn't connecting to the database" and "My streaming audio isn't working properly". Each set of Web problems is split into separate chapters and prefaced by a solid flow chart, leading the reader through various "yes" and "no" questions until the right solution is reached.
The solutions are well written and generally quite useful, almost always giving you two options to correct the problem. In either case, the text is clear; it doesn't simply provide a bunch of nonsense code for beginners, but rather takes care to explain carefully why the problem has arisen and why these steps will correct it. This book is a useful tutorial of common HTML and good Web design practices for the novice.
Which is not to say that the book doesn't have its faults. For one thing, it's very heavily FrontPage-dependent--not only is a single 15-page chapter devoted to FrontPage troubleshooting alone, but an additional section deals with FrontPage and Microsoft Office 2000 interactions. In other words, just under 10 percent of this book is useless if you don't use FrontPage 2000--which, considering that this is a Microsoft Press book, shouldn't come as too much of a surprise, but caveat emptor.
This is a quick-fix book for people who don't know a lot about the Web. The HTML fixes are fairly easy to look up if you know what you're doing. But there are a lot of people who don't have the time to track down various problems, and this book does a fine job of picking the ones that beginning Web designers are likely to face. It won't be a reference you'll turn to time and time again after you've gained experience, but if you are just starting out--or have no time--it could be very useful. --William Steinmetz
