Product Description
Want to build a killer Web site? Want to make it easy to keep your site up to date? You'll need to know how CSS, HTML, and XHTML work together. HTML, XHTML, and CSS All-In-One Desk Reference For Dummies makes that easy too! These eight minibooks get you started, explain standards, and help you connect all the dots to create sites with pizzazz. This handy, one-stop guide catches you up on XHTML basics and CSS fundamentals. You'll learn how to work with Positionable CSS to create floating elements, margins, and multi-column layouts, and you'll get up to speed on client-side programming with JavaScript. You'll also get the low-down on server side programming with PHP, creating a database with MySQL, and using Ajax on both client and server sides. You'll find out how to: - Use templates and validators
- Manage information with lists and tables
- Turn lists of links into button bars
- Add style color and borders
- Create variables for data
- Add motion with basic DOM animation
- Work with arrays
- Add Flash functionality with AFLAX
- Build and manage a multipage site
- Choose and run your own server
You don't need expensive or complicated software or a super-powerful computer to build a Web site that does all sorts of amazing things. All you need is a text editor and the clear, step-by-step guidance you'll find in HTML, XHTML, and CSS All-In-One Desk Reference For Dummies.

 AWESOME November 20, 2008

It is difficult to find one book that takes you from nothing to standards-compliant web sites. It's even more difficult to find books that don't recommend paying insane amounts of money for programs like Dreamweaver. The author provides lots of alternative choices to the big name software and uses this software throughout his examples. I am very grateful that I picked up this book and think that I could probably actually start a web design business after reading it. A million thank-yous to the authors!
Great for beginners!! June 19, 2008

I have been out of web design for years. In fact the last time I built a web page I was still using a single html doc and usually some images with hotspots. This book got me back in the saddle and quickly had me building great looking and functional web pages and sites.
This book covers everything from basic html to css to MySQL and PHP. There is really no other book you could get that will help you build a more complete website at this level.
I'd recommend this book to anyone wanting to start their own web pages.

HTML, XHTML, and CSS All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech))
A Great book! It answers all of my questions relating to all of the several web page languages that I have only partially understood. I now have a solid foundation for going onto more complex programming material and for developing great web applications. The recommendations for free software are terrific. Free works for me. I now have all of the tools I need on my lap top,including my own Apache server running MYSQL. Thank you Andy and Chris.

I failed my college web design course. I should have bought this book first. Within a couple days, I had created a page that would have gotten me an A in the class. This book is easy to use, and has a lot of great examples. It even comes with all of the software you will need. If you're considering having your own website, even if you are using site builder or a template program, you should buy this book. You never know when you will need to edit the coding to fix something, or add in a new feature. I definitely recommend this book. A++
This is the Best Beginner's Book December 24, 2008

If you've never programmed before and want to get a solid web technologies background I think this is the best choice for you (and me) I Found this book very easy to follow and the best of it is the fact that everything you see in the book could be applied using open source technologies, the author give you some clues on what tools to use for authoring your projects (like aptana); while digging into this book I found quanta+ the best tool for developing xhtml, css and javascript (but is not mentioned by the author, not that I remember), although you can use whatever you want I do recommend this tool for this tasks as it is very easy including even wysiwyg (what you see is what you get), although if you really want to learn xhtml I don't recommend this option. Once you master this book and get a solid understanding and background on it you'll be prepared for a more advanced book and indeed you should pickup one that talk just about one or two of the technologies. I'm very happy with this book.
