Summary: Excellent comprehensive reference!
Comment: I turn to this massive hard cover volume contiuously. HTML, Dynamic HTML, JavaScript, VBScript... this volume brings it all together. I have read some of the previous reviews that state that this book has omitted some things; perhaps so, but speaking as one who spends well over a grand a year on books I can say that this is one of the best values ever. Being organized alphabetically like a dictionary, it is extremely quick to use and enables me to "drill down" to what I need right away. I highly recommend it to all web authors, both novice and pro.

Summary: It's gotta be the best
Comment: Honestly, this is the book that God used to create the world. It's got everything a web developer could ever want....HTML, DHTML, CSS, JavaScript, VBScript ... It's a complete A-Z reference of ever attribute, method, event, tag and opject. It does have a few errors, and a few startaling ommisions (it's missing for example, and some of the older netscape-only tags). But everything taken into account, I can only pray that they come out whith a revised edition to fill in some of the newer syntax, and expand the browser version differences for the 5.0 browsers. (the book has more than you want to know about the 3/4.0 browsers on both PC and Mac) and to break down the browser support detail for individual properties and methods (not just by tag or object).

Summary: Excellent Reference for web page design
Comment: I actually purchased this book a couple of years ago and it has proven to be indispensable. I refer to it on numerous occasions to get the specific syntax, properties, methods, and examples for using tags and Javascript (and VBScript) objects. I love this book and would recommend it to anyone.

The only downside to this book that I could identify is that it is relatively old. There are newer items that are not included such as the good ole tag. However, I'm sure there must be another version in the works. I sure hope so because this books is great.
