After years of using spacer GIFs, layers of nested tables, and other improvised solutions for building your web sites, getting used to the more stringent "standards-compliant" design that is de rigueur among professionals today can be intimidating. With standards-driven design, keeping style separate from content is not just a possibility but a reality. You no longer use HTML and XHTML as design tools, but strictly as ways to define the meaning and structure of web content.

I feel like I'm the only person who isn't nuts about the style of O'Reilly books, so take this review with a grain of salt.

This is a basic and dry dictionary of HTML and XHTML tags. It's really okay, although I can't really see the benefit of having this little book over googling the tag and seeing examples of its use etc.

Maybe, I could see having the ebook version and searching through that when you want to look up a tag.

Una GRAN pequeña guía de referencia. A lo mejor se echan en falta algunas palabras reservadas pero por lo general es una maravilla poder consultar de forma rápida y ordenada la duda que buscas.

After I figured out there structure of displaying information, this tool has become a valuable asset. Definately recommend.

What kind of a reference book doesn't have an index? Sure, the tag reference is in alphabetical order, but that only helps if you remember what the tag is. Also, I had a brain fart this morning and couldn't remember the exact syntax for a comment (I work with way too many languages)- couldn't find it. That's what a pocket reference is supposed to be for, the little things you can't remember!

This is an excellent text and well illustrated. I am sure an updated edition will come out soon.
