HTML:THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE
By Chuck Musciano & Bill Kennedy
410 pages, ISBN: 1-56592-175-5, $27.95

HTML, the markup language used to create Web pages, was a simple,
straightforward language that did a few things very well when it was
created in 1993. By adding a handful of HTML tags to a document, you could
define the layout of a Web page (both text and images) and create links to
other documents on Web servers around the world. HTML fueled the growth of
the Web, for it allowed ordinary people to create Web pages--you didn't
need to be a programmer to use it.

Three years later, HTML isn't so simple. Frames, tables, forms, audio, and
animation are now part of the HTML author's toolkit. You've got to get the
HTML syntax correct, or it just won't work. For those who want to master
the language's new complexity, we've just released "HTML: The Definitive
Guide." This is the one book you need to become fluent in HTML, fully
versed in the language's syntax, semantics, and elements of style. It
covers the most up-to-date version of the HTML standard, plus all the
common extensions and, in particular, Netscape 2.0 extensions. The authors
cover each and every element of the currently accepted version of the
language in detail, explaining how each element works and how it interacts
with all the other elements. They've also included a style guide to help
the reader decide how to best use HTML to accomplish a variety of tasks,
from simple online documentation to complex marketing and sales
presentations.

With a practical, hands-on style, "HTML: The Definitive Guide" helps you to
create truly effective Web pages and to master advanced features, such as
tables and equations. The book shows you how to:

  > insert images and other multimedia elements
  > create links and searchable documents
  > develop effective forms with basic forms elements such as buttons,
    checkboxes, and radio buttons
  > use Netscape 2.0 extensions, including improved horizontal rules,
    image layout, indexed documents, line breaking, and font handling
  > create Netscape tables
  > create dynamic documents with Server Push and Client Pull
