I am not an HTML professional, but there continue to be many opportunities for me to use this book to aid in setting up small documentation sites or page sets for the various projects I do. I have found this book to be very helpful when the IDE and my own abilities fall short when hard-coding the pages. It also saved the day for one of the HTML class assignments a year or so ago. It has proved to be worth the price.
This reference book is worth the price because of it's detailed examples and thorough index. I own other CSS and HTML books, but this is the one I grab when I can't think of the proper HTML tag or parameter I need. The index so comprehensive that it works like a thesaurus by enabling you to get to HTML or CSS references pages that you need even if you don't know the exact name of what you're looking for. This reference book was invaluable in my programming my collar stays micro-business website at http://collarstays.biz. Although this edition is dated, it covers the currently used XHTML and CSS standards thoroughly.
If you are looking to buy just one book on HTML and RELATED technologies book, then this is it. A COMPREHENSIVE book. Explains every thing in a very lucid way. Easily assimilate complex topics with this book. The future is in HTML/XHTML and Javascript. Get this book and get ready.
If you are starting out with HTML/XHTML, you might be advised to get a tutorial. This work appears to begin with basics, but even the early chapters provide much more information than a novice wants or needs. (The "Links" chapter--Chapter 4--for example, describes all types of links, many of which a beginning web page author probably won't need to know about until he or she has acquired quite a bit more experience. That said, this book is a good reference with lots of helpful tips. It may not be as complete as other reviewers hoped, but I have found it quite handy for learning many advanced topics. And, although the edition I have (the 4th) has been out a couple of years, the material is still mostly uptodate. In short, it is a very good resource.
I spent many hours reading through books on xhtml to find the best reference manual. This is the book that I chose. I find it very easy to locate the data I need and exceptionally thorough. There are plenty of good clean code html & xhtml examples. But what makes this book a book that you will keep, are the tables in the back defining everything from attributes to special character codes. It is after all a reference manual. Like most technical subjects, each book seems to have an area where it shines. None have it all. However, this book is the best overall.
This Reference is very very comprehensive. It also covers CSS 2.0 (completely, no need to buy a CSS 2.0 reference unless you need a learning book or a pocket reference).
It also covers XML to an extend most Web Developers need to know without becoming an Authority in the subject.
A lot of examples that are not always useful. The Appendixes for HTML and CSS are among the best I have seen. Browser Compatibility is also addressed in easy to read "grid" like format.
