highly recommended

for beginners?

i think this book is not detailed enough, as compared with its titile"how to do everything with html&xhtml".After i finished reading this book, i started to build my web site. But, the problem is i don't know what attributes and values i can use within style sheets. and the effort to understand all that stuff is really frustrating.And i am confused about whether the attribute is from html or xhtml, can i use them? the book don't provide a list of all the stuff with its usage and possible values, attributes as a reference, and the pdf file i downloaded from the author's web site is useless because most of them is listed in the book and they are just not detailed enough, it is just a book for beginners and it should be marked as level 1.

Good "Building Blocks" Type of Book

I'm almost done with "How to Do Everything with HTML..." and its very good for beginners like me. Its all about building blocks for your Web page. Realistically, there can be no book that will explain any single thing about web design (at least without being 1000+ pages long), but this book does its job - after you read it, you will have a solid foundation for any of your Web projects. It won't make you a web guru (again, I doubt that any single book can do that), but its very good for what it is.
Few minor points - JavaScripts described in the book didn't work for me and i'm not sure what's the reason behind this. I checked and re-checked code again, but still, it didn't show up in any browsers. Another issue is that since its about building blocks, things like layout, color and graphics are mostly skipped over in favor of pure HTML coding. So what you would next, I assume, after reading this one, is a type of book that would show you how to actually put those blocks together in order to make an actual page.
All in all, very useful for beginners.

Excellent book!!!

For a first book on this topic I found the depth of coverage and pace to be perfect. Very easy painless coverage of topic.
Not too slow, and not too fast where you feel like you're lost.
Nothing is taken for granted(Author assumes you know nothing), yet you are not treated like a "dummy" or "complete idiot".

There's always more to learn

I thought I knew everything there was to know about HTML but was very shaky with style sheets and XML. This book takes you step by step through the learning process making XML and style sheets easy to understand by explaining why and how they are used. Recommend the book to anyone who is creating web sites! Every other HTML book pales in comparison.
