If I could give this book a lower rating than one star, I would. I made the mistake of following the reviews on this page, so I'd like to set the record straight. To call this book a professional reference is a joke, it is padded out with chapters on using such 'professional' software as Netscape Navigator Gold and Microsoft Internet Assistants. The first and last time I opened this book was on the day it arrived 6mths ago. Any worthwhile content is surrounded by junk and makes the book completely unwieldy. If you know nothing about web publishing, you may gain an education from this book but before you finish it you too will be looking for something lighter to lift but heavier on serious content! I can't get rid of this book soon enough. Buy the HTML Sourcebook (Graham) instead - but you serious developers already know to do that anyway....
