Rating:  - Albeit egregious there is some content here
Albeit the kumquats are egregious, this book is a good source of information, albeit the kumquats are egregious. Unfortunately, this book has neither structure nor organization (every paragraph references a paragraph in another chapter) and is quite painful to read, albeit. There is uneccessary repetition that confuses and frustrates the reader, albeit it does get the point across, albeit it does waste a lot of paper and time, albeit. OHHH... If you didn't know, "the dir attribute lets you advise the browser which direction the text within the <> segment should be displayed in, and the lang lets you specify the language used within that tag". I thought I should clear the dir/lang attributes up as there is insufficient coverage of them in the book, albeit. kumquat. egregious kumquat deprecated.
Rating:  - Not for the beginner....
I thought this book was very complete. I will disagree with quite a few reviews. I don't think this is for the beginner. Sometimes if we are experienced then we take something's for granted thinking everybody already knows them. This book that would be values for the attributes.
Each chapter is filled with valuable technical content. The chapter information provides very simple, understandable samples but I think you need to know HTML to understand them. If you do this is a GREAT reference book and certainly up to O'Reilly standard.
Rating:  - Another great O'Reilly book
Really and truly the definitive guide to HTML and XHTML
Rating:  - This book can not be read
The organization and redundacy in this book as it attemps to be both a primer and a refercerence book make it unreadable. This latest version has just a few but apparently hastily added changes from the previous edition. If you need to know about XHTML go elsewhere...
Rating: - Read only under duress
A rehash of the previous edition with very minor changes and more errors. The changes seem to have introduced a new set of errors instead of making the book better. This book is almost impossible to read because of the organization and redundancy included as it attempts to also be a reference book. Unfortunately it succeeds neither as a primer nor as a reference book.
This book, is not what you want if you want to learn HTML & XHTML. [...]
