Description: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 version 3 through version 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 XHTML 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 Topics covered:
