The best Refrence and best book for beginner and Senior!

This book is the best one in HTML 4. It have the full refrence on DOM,style Sheet,and helpfull notes about any web technology and also the cool links makes you never be alone in Web Developing.

Excellent Reference for HTML 4, CSS 2 and the IE4/5 DOM

This is an excellent reference for HTML 4, CSS 2 and the IE4/5 DOM, although the section on XML has no real application and has no practical examples.

Most Excellent

I found this to be the best of the "Unleashed" series, and having read (and owning) many technical reference journals, I feel I have a pretty good reference point. As for the negative comments I've seen about this book, they have all pointed to the paperback version, which must be completely different from the hardback (Professional Reference Edition). All I can say regarding the negativity is the one I bought was well worth the money.

Great Reference..... Just Not For Beginners

I think that the book is truely great for someone that just needs it around to double check things, in that case this book is all you need as far as HTML 4 goes. I don't think this is the best book to learn HTML from, but if you know HTML and just needs to familiarize yourself with HTML 4, then it serves it's purpose. The book skims through the basics and gets to the more advanced, then skims through that, which I don't value very much. I will especially disappointed with the coverage of CSS and JavaScript. I can't say I am going to never use the book, because I use it alot, but I was hoping that it would teach me more than it has. Overall, not a bad "REFERENCE" book, but you will need other books to accompany it on the shelf in order to become an expert.

Wow! Excellent!

Other Authors! Take a hint! Finally someone takes a language and does a COMPLETE book on it. I've read most of the technical books that refer to web development, and although they are each about different subjects, there is not a single one that can stand up to the thoroughness of this book. Along with a very intense main area, the book includes cross-browser reference (including versions of browsers) of ALL elements, attributes, and what code will work in the most popular browsers when the W3C's "Official" code is not yet implemented. Also contains VBScript, JavaScript reference tables, XSL, XML, DHTML and CGI information, and a fairly thorough listing of online references. If you are learning HTML, this is the only book you'll need, and it will get you started in the right direction with VBScript and JavaScript.
