From Booklist
Stating that many library sites are still created in HTML, an outdated program, the author endeavors to provide librarians the means to update their sites using XHTML (extensible hypertext markup language) and CSS (cascading style sheets), both of which can improve page accessibility and simplify Web design and maintenance. Content is divided into three sections: "XHTML Essentials," "CSS Essentials," and a companion Web site, the latter containing nine reference documents. Chapters address items such as hyperlinks, images, lists, tables, forms, frames, metadata, colors, measurements, positioning, and media types. Text is perfect for the non-expert, with highly readable content and clear explanations that are amply supported by figures, tables, and screen shots. Overall, an excellent guide that offers a fine introduction to beginners and a handy reference source for seasoned Web page designers. Highly recommended. Sean Kinder

Customer Reviews & Comments
I had to buy this book for a classs I was taking and I wish I could've returned it instead of using it. To give the book some credit, the explanations are easy to understand and the author gives good examples. However, the codes he gives are useless, because most of them are spelled wrong. For a coding that relies on accuracy, this book should have been edited better. My suggestion: Find a different book to teach yourself CSS and XHTML. Pretty much anything would be better than this book.
