Web Design in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition contains the nitty- gritty on everything readers need to know to design web pages. It's the good stuff, without the fluff, written and organised so that answers can be found quickly. This completely revised and expanded edition is chock-full of information about the wide range of front-end technologies and techniques from which web designers and authors must draw. It is an excellent reference for HTML tags with special attention given to browser support, platform idiosyncrasies, and standards. This update stresses the importance of creating pages the 'right' way. It includes more content on the integration of XHTML and a new section with expanded information on Cascading Style Sheets. All chapters are updated to reflect the current technologies. This book is an indispensable tool for web designers and authors of all levels.
