Editorial Reviews:
Special Edition Using HTML 4 clearly defines the HTML language in its present form. By honing in on the daily realities of site design needs, the superfluous elements of the language are set aside, and real-world solutions are provided in a clear and concise fashion. You will learn which tools are best, how to code HTML, and the basic principles of Web publishing and graphic design. You will also learn how to take your sites into the next millennium with highly interactive and competitive technologies, including secure transactions, databases, audio and video, and practical programming techniques.
Special Edition Using HTML 4, Fifth Edition delivers holistic coverage of the key discipline of Web-site design. Author Molly E. Holzschlag combines the technical aspects of HTML and assorted technologies with general design methodologies and concepts. The book begins with the fundamentals but quickly moves on to cover more advanced concepts, such as cascading style sheets (CSS), JavaScript, Dynamic HTML, and XML. This coverage is not comprehensive but shows you the basics of these technologies and illustrates their importance. From here, the author takes you into the details of Web-page design, presenting the HTML language in context with overall design goals. The author goes on to show how to embed streaming audio and video, Java applets, and other multimedia packages, such as Macromedia's Shockwave, Director, and Flash documents. The book also covers server concepts such as Common Gateway Interface (CGI), Active Server Pages (ASP), and database connectivity, and includes an entire section on the complete process of designing and implementing a Web site. Additional resources include a comprehensive reference section on HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and VBScript. The companion CD-ROM includes a number of demonstration versions of tools and browsers, including HTML editors and FTP utilities. --Stephen W. Plain

 Great book
When I first started learning html I did not understand what it was about. I bought this book and I've learned alot about html. This is a great book. It also talks a little bit about other things dealing with web page making such as CSS and other.
Thumbs up on this book.  Best in Town
This book is the best in market for learning HTML. Great HTML Book
I found this easy to use and it has everything you need to create beautiful web pages. My searches were easily found and all my questions were answered with this book. I call it my HTML bible! My web-page bible!
I received this book for Christmas and thought it would be like most other HTML books, rather "incomplete", as in skipping around and not really covering the topics. But, I was terribly wrong! I have been using it for 4 days now, and have read every piece of information on the 165 pages I have consumed hungrily.Even though I already know HTML, this book helped me realise, that, since I taught myself HTML by looking at other people's pages, I learned a slap-dash method, and when I read this book I see all the places where I've gone wrong. It is extremely thorough, and covers all topics you could possibly need to know about HTML 4.0. I think the CD is an extremely good idea, because I didn't have an editing environment already, and I sure didn't have any of the animation tools I will need later on in the book! So, now, I'm fully equipped (as they say). I would reccommend this book to any novice through advanced reader. Everyone can learn something from this book, and have fun doing it! I never thought I would enjoy going through and taking notes and highlighting a 1,000+ page book, but I LOVE IT! I come back from my run every morning and dash to the computer and start working in this book. Please consider this book before any other! Great book for learning HTML
Believe this to be one of the best book I have read for learning and keeping up with HTML. You won't go wrong with this book. Very easy to read and understand. Great for the beginner and an excellent reference for the pro. More Customer Reviews:
