Product Review
Special Edition Using HTML 4, Fifth Edition delivers holistic coverage of the key discipline of Web-site design. Author Molly E. Holzschlag combines the technical aspects of HTML and assorted technologies with general design methodologies and concepts.
The book begins with the fundamentals but quickly moves on to cover more advanced concepts, such as cascading style sheets (CSS), JavaScript, Dynamic HTML, and XML. This coverage is not comprehensive but shows you the basics of these technologies and illustrates their importance. From here, the author takes you into the details of Web-page design, presenting the HTML language in context with overall design goals.
The author goes on to show how to embed streaming audio and video, Java applets, and other multimedia packages, such as Macromedia's Shockwave, Director, and Flash documents. The book also covers server concepts such as Common Gateway Interface (CGI), Active Server Pages (ASP), and database connectivity, and includes an entire section on the complete process of designing and implementing a Web site.
Additional resources include a comprehensive reference section on HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and VBScript. The companion CD-ROM includes a number of demonstration versions of tools and browsers, including HTML editors and FTP utilities. --Stephen W. Plain

Customer Reviews & Comments
I purchased this book because I had the 5th Edition and a colleague bought it off me. Fortunately I couldn't get version 5.0 and had to buy this one. I found both versions to be extremely powerful reference books with excellent explanations on cutting edge technology. It's such a great reference I take it everywhere - I tested all references to CSS1 and CSS2 and produced extensive examples in different browsers for useability. I have just finished designing over a 1000 page set of Web guidelines for designers at basic, intermediate and advanced level for a big company and this tome has proved invaluable for cross referencing. My co/writer and I, don't refer to the title of the book but simply quote 'Molly' - as far as were concerned she can't do no wrong. I thoroughly recommend the book and will continue to support the Author in future publications. Money well spent! especially at Amazon's Price.
