Readers' Comments
I get lots of kind email--here are some my favorites.


The first edition of Web Design in a Nutshell became an international best-seller and is the best resource for everything you'd ever want to know about web design--HTML, graphics, multimedia, emerging technologies, web-specific design decisions, etc. The second edition brings all the information up to date and includes new chapters on Printing from the Web, Accessibility, XHTML, SMIL, WML.

I am still really excited about Web Design in a Nutshell, and here are just a few reasons why:

  • It's the book I always wished I had for looking things up quickly.
  • There are no other books currently available which cover as many topics in as much depth.
  • It provides information for all levels of expertise-- easy-to-find nitty-gritty details for experts as well as explanatory material for beginners.
  • It's got a browser-support chart for every tag, including support information on Netscape 2,3,4,6; IE 2,3,4,5,5.5,6; WebTV; Opera; and the HTML 4.01 Specification.
