The third edition of the venerable "HTML: The Definitive Guide". This bestselling guide has been updated to cover HTML version 4.0, Netscape 4.0, and Internet Explorer 4.0, plus all the common extensions. "For about two years, if anyone mentioned HTML Standards to us, we responded with a groan, a bemused smile, and then uproarious laughter. Standards had become a joke," said Bill Kennedy, "Today, fortunately for those of us who appreciate standards, its different. HTML 4.0 marks a new beginning."

As in previous editions, the authors cover every element of HTML in detail, explaining how each element works and how it interacts with other elements. With hundreds of examples, the book provides models for writing your own effective Web pages and mastering advanced features, like style sheets and frames.

It shows you how to:

• Use style sheets and layers to control a documentĘs appearance
• Create tables, from simple to complex
• Use frames to coordinate sets of documents
• Design and build interactive forms and dynamic documents
• Insert images, sound files, video, Java applets, and JavaScript programs
• Learn about new features to support multiple languages
• Create useful links and searchable documents
• Use Netscape extensions
• Design great forms
