Re: The right HTML book ??????

Lou,

Danny's book is great, if you already know pretty much what you're talking
about but want a reference work or something to push you a little further.
It's not a 'how to' book; if that's what you want, I like Dynamic HTML by
Jeff Rule; nice little scripts, very adaptable, very well explained.

The problem with both of these books is that they were written primarily
with version 4 browsers in mind. I've spoken to both O'Reilly and Danny
Goodman about this, and they seem agreed that the book will be updated,
probably next year, but there is no great sense of urgency about it.
(O'Reilly say that their HTML: the Complete Reference is more of a priority
for update ATM.) So you might well be better off with something online?

HTH
