Book News Annotation:While there are a lot of comprehensive guides to using HTML and CSS
to build web pages, this isn't one of them. Instead, noted web
designer Ben Henick concentrates on showing readers how to make the
theory and design of HTML and CSS an essential part of design, rather
than an impediment or afterthought. Topics include structuring HTML
markup to maximize the power of CSS; implementing complex
multi-column layouts from scratch; improving web site production
values with advanced CSS techniques; supporting formal usability and
accessibility requirements with tools built into HTML and CSS; and
avoiding the most annoying browser and platform limitations.
