Rating:  - Another classic by Danny Goodman
Just like his Javascript Bible, this is a superb reference book for client side scripters.
It is well organized and each area is clearly explained. Also the index at the back is comprehensive, so it is easy to find whatever you need help with quickly.
This has been an invaluable productivity aid for me. It is hard to find good really good programming reference books, so this gem really stands out in my opinion. It is the best dynamic html book out there.
Rating: - Most essential book for web developers
I'd call this book "most essential" because there isn't another one that you could substitute for it. It has all the information you need on HTML, DOM, CSS, javascript and browser compatibility - all rolled into one book. What's surprising is that it's been around for several years now and no one else has even tried to write a better book. This is the essential reference for web developers - it's always found in our office open on my desk - unless my collegue has it on his!
Rating:  - Great reference
This book is a great reference for DOM, CSS and HTML. Although there are some errors in information.(small errors though) e.g [it says on page 821 that the screen object won't work in NN but when you check page 706 it says the it works on NN] and things like that. But its a great book...especially if you want to make your scripts cross-platformable.
Rating: - excellent reference of HTML, CSS, Javascript and DOM
Although things change quickly on the Internet, this book is still the best reference and resource on web site building that I have come across. The book contains a complete reference divided in sections on HTML, the Document Object (DOM), Style Sheet Attributes and the JavaScript Language. All attribute entries include a description and example. The versions of Internet Explorer and Netscape that support it are mentioned with it. The extensive DOM reference also includes the properties and methods.
The appendixes describe HTML character entities, color names and RGB values, keyboard event character values and specific Internet Explorer commands.
The book starts with a section describing all these features of Dynamic HTML in general and how to apply them. For example, absolute versus relative positioning is explained in detail, followed by an explanation of positioning attributes.
The book is my inseparable companion when I'm working on my web site.
Rating: - Best web developers reference ever!!
I was lucky. As I started developing for the web, my boss placed this book on my desk. Others say it's not for beginners; but a beginner can easily get overwhelmed without having some reference book to find out how to do things. From this book I learned both HTML and Javascript. It is simply fabulous and I still open it all the time.
Buy it!!
