Theres not a lot to say about the
Instant HTML Programmers
reference, other than if you plan
on spending any serious time
building web pages, you should
own it.
Over 400 pages cover
everything from simple text
layout to Javascript and
Cascading Style Sheets to an
extraordinary depth.
Instant HTML maintains a
good balance of clarity and
depth - the degree of clarity
is surprising given just how
in-depth this book goes.
It even contains an alphabetical
reference to all the HTML tags,
listing all the attributes available
to each tag, and a table of
platform compatibility so that
you can see whether the code
you are writing is likely to work
in Netscape as it does in
Voyager (not that Voyager is
included, of course).
There is one major flaw with
this book, and that is the poor
accessibility of some of this
information. The index is rather
convoluted, and for something
that is, after all, meant to be a
reference volume, it can actually
take a little while to refer to.
However if its HTML 4.0 you
are after, this is the definitive
resource.
