Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Reference

Author: Danny Goodman
Publisher: O\'Reilly Media
Year: 2006
Pages: 1322
ISBN: 0596527403
Danny Goodman felt that he couldn\'t trust any of the documentation on Dynamic HTML (DHTML) that he read (too many contradictions), so he wrote this book as a reference for working with his own clients. After testing tags and techniques on multiple releases of the main browsers, Goodman came up with very practical information--some of which you may not find in any other resource. Goodman assumes a solid foundation, if not expertise, in basic HTML and an understanding of what DHTML is all about. From those assumptions, he presents a meaty, information-dense volume. The first of the book\'s four sections discusses industry standards and how to apply the basic principles of DHTML. He emphasizes the differences in Web browsers and discusses how to build pages so that they work well in both Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer. The second section is an extensive, quick reference of all the tags, objects, and properties of HTML, cascading style sheets, Document Object Model, and core JavaScript. A particularly handy cross-reference guide to this information follows, helping you locate it in alternate ways. The final section contains appendices, with useful tables of values and commands. --Elizabeth Lewis --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

HTML 4 Dummies

Author: Ed Tittel
Publisher: For Dummies
Year: 2005
Pages: 432
ISBN: 0764589172
Hard core programmers would say that HTML is for dummies. Even so, for those of us who want to build and maintain our own Web sites, but cringe at the sight of anything resembling a programming language, HTML 4 for Dummies is the hand-holding guide to help us through those processes. Because many HTML editors do all the site-building work for you, it's strange the authors chose to wait until appendix C in the back of the book to explain why you must know HTML. Still, their reasons for learning HTML are sound, and the advice they dispense is solid. Beyond going through the ins and outs of HTML tags, the book does a fine job of explaining what design elements work and how to avoid common mistakes. The section on XHTML ensures that budding site builders have all the latest tools at their disposal.

This is going to be a great forum to hang out in.

Thanks codez!

CSS BOOKS POSTED!!!!

[duepayer]

These are great books. CSS is the way...Nice post.

[spiralgirl]

Wiseman,

Thanks, this is a great resource. Did you find these and load them or did you scan these books yourself and upload them? I've always wondered how people take a book they own and upload it?

With much of the layout's being done in InDesign nowadays it's just as easy for the publisher to export as a PDF as it is to send it to print. In-fact, before it is sent to the printer, it is made into pdf format anyway. So, publishers have started to offer the books in pdf format (eBooks) for ease of use on the internet and electronic media. Many of these one can buy online and download instantly instead of paying and waiting for shipping. I have many of these sent to me because of the line of work that I am currently in. But I can't take credit for all of them. I did find a few elsewhere on the web. But I downloaded them and re-uploaded them.

[spiralgirl]

Wiseman,

Thanks for the information, I didn't realize they books were done in PDF first before being published. Here I thought people out there on the web were actually scanning books and making them into PDF somehow which sounded like a tonne of work.

That's why I see so many e-book download places now.

[Athos]

Trying to design with HTML is like trying to paint a portrait with a paint roller.

Can't help but noticing this every time I read one of your posts What do you suggest using? CSS? Combination of all sorts?

I'm a complete imbecile on the subject of web design. I have however a lot of time at hand and I've decided to give it a shot, so please, bear with me

spiralgirl - No problem! I hope that you can learn something from at least on of these books. I want to help make the world a more educated place for all of us. This goes for you as well as anyone else out there, I give mad props to learning things on your own. Some of the best talent in the world is self-taught. Just a little warning, there will be times that you want to just give up,......DON'T it's never going to get solved then. Hell, Come here and ask me if you get stumped! If I don't know, I'll find it out for the both of us. Good luck on your learning!


Athos - Well, to make it long story a short one. HTML was the FIRST Hyper-text markup laungage. One was allowed to make scrolling text, blinking text, everyone's links all looked the same (blue underlined), and all visited links were the same for everyone also (purple underlined). The internet has come a LONG way (since Al Gore invented it) in a very short amount of time. New languages and better languages have been developed and are much much better. CSS is actually like an add-on to HTML to basically "control" where, what and how your HTML is displayed. IT is with a combination of a few markup languages that you get the best results. Below are a few sites that explain my quote in my signature:

AJax-
Gucci

BASIC HTML-
World's Worst Webpage

CSS-
Shoe Guru

Flash-
Wonderbra


Hope that I helped you a bit buddy.

Wiseman,

Thanks for the encouragement. Yes, I know this will be tough to learn when I get the time too. I've been working on a basic iWeb site that has been tough to learn (well iweb isn't so bad it was figuring out how to use an FTP client and get it on my hosting site). There were times I was almost in tears but I kept going and finally got to where I wanted to go). My site isn't done yet, I just got busy with other things.

I find you really get a sense of accomplishment after all the frustration if you persevere.

[WiseMan]

Those Winblows servers are the worst, they are so freaking picky about every little thing....

[Athos]

Hope that I helped you a bit buddy. Thumb Right

Sure did, thank you

[WiseMan]

I have noticed that all my bookcover images are gone.........hmmmmm. I'll work on that guys.

[Sprirn]

Wiseman, thanks for the books. This is something I've always wanted to learn (how to do these type of things) but since I can't buy books right now and I had no idea where to start looking for guides or help it discouraged me from trying but after reading what you said to Spiralgirl I think I'ma give it a shot.

I pretty much taught myself how to use Photoshop and yeah it feels great when you accomplish something like that on your own.

[codez]

Ajax books would be fantastic. If found myself reading the Ajax shelf at Barnes&nobles a few times.
