Special Edition Using HTML & XHTML is a comprehensive Web publishing reference, providing practical solutions to real-world Web development problems. Author Molly Holzschlag starts by explaining how XHTML differs from HTML and why it's necessary, but quickly moves beyond a mere comparison of the differences. The reader learns which tools are best, how to code HTML & XHTML, and the basic principles of Web publishing and graphic design. The book also shows how to integrate graphics, stylesheets, frames and multimedia into XHTML Web pages. Later chapters cover XHTML's relationship to XML and creating content for alternative devices including pagers, cell phones, and hand held devices.

Rating: - Special Edition Using HTML and XHTML
This is a very good book. I have been looking for a book like this for a long time.
Rating: - Confusing, but a good reference.
This book, like most other primers on XHTML, tries to take the minor differences between standard HTML and XHTML, and turn it into a full blown manuscript. The truth is, if you already know HTML, then you already know most of what you need for XHTML.
XHTML differs little from HTML, except for the following points (I'm using brackets here on purpose so as not to mark up this review) :
- XHTML is case sensitive, e.g. the tags [h1] and [H1] are not equivalent.

That doesn't this book isn't worth the money though. Its a great reference, but if you're looking to harness the full potential ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent Job
This book takes a detailed look at HTML and XHTML and all the various topics that relate to these markup languages. Even at the book's start, it discusses specifications and Document Type Definitions (DTD). In the book's second part, it talks about lists, links, tables, framesets, and forms, some of the "easier" things you can do with HTML and XHTML. Part three gets into adding images and multimedia, and what to watch out for when adding these items. Cascading Style Sheets get a thorough lookover in the book's ... Read More
