I had a much older version of this same reference (10+ years ago) which was excellent. This one appears hopelessly outdated. For example the index gives a whole reference section on "Netscape". However with "NavBars", a hot topic addressed directly with HTML5, there are only 2 pages listed. In one page it's just a mention and in the 2nd ref, it's just a quick few words.This book does't appear to cover in-depth HTML5 and CSS3, which is critical for modern web programming these days.

HTML CSS The Complete Reference Fifth Edition eBook Thomas Powell Reviews

This is my first experience with "The Complete Reference" series, and I am very impressed. I am new to html and css, and this book provides a fine introduction to both. The book has a nearly perfect balance of teaching content and reference. I read enough information to learn the basic syntax, and saw many examples of usage. Then, the reference starts; you know how to use them, here are all of the options - go for it! Now when I need to know how to do something, say positioning in css, I just look at the options, decide what I need, and test it. It really is that simple. The html and css sections are separate, but both are explained in the same format. Now that I have a basic understanding of these topics, and a great reference, I am free to move on to more advanced topics like Javascript and MySQL.
This is also the first book that I have seen that includes HTML5 and CSS3 coverage (all of the others are currently pre-order only). The coverage lists everything, but only goes into detail on the tags that are most likely to be supported, or are already supported. Since we are a couple of years away from seeing the new standards adopted, this coverage seems appropriate.
This is the type of book that I can really learn from quickly, and I hope I find more that are this good for other subjects.
Has been a useful reference.
Of course, the same information is all on-line now.
This is the every-little-detail book about all the tags and features in these two areas and NOT an a 'Dummies Guide to...' kind of book. Author Thomas Powell is a well recognized expert making this book the go-to source.
As others have mentioned, this book has sacrificed conciseness and the potential for being a "quick reference" (due to clumsy formatting and the wordy nature of the contained information) for the sake of comprehensiveness. I think it's worth picking up (due to the sheer amount of clear, correct information that it contains), especially if you can find a used copy - but don't expect that its appeal will concern its layout, or that it will be easily navigable.
I am relatively new to web page implementation (I hesitate to call my current level of competency "web design.") This book, is not meant as an instructional book but is an excellent reference book. I know what I want to accomplish, but I don't know what the correct term or syntax is to give that instruction to the browser in either HTML or CSS "language." It doesn't go into programs, such as Dreamweaver. It probably assumes you are writing code in a text editor, which I'm not. I do use Dreamweaver and have other reference books to explain the program specifics. I use this book as a supplement that saves me a lot of hunting around in drop-down menus or entering keywords in the help menu.
When I get stumped as I plod along, I simply refer to the super-extensive table of contents or, failing that, the index or one of the many appendixes. I find an alphabetical list of elements, their meaning, and a page reference for further information. The exact same list is available for all CSS selectors. In the text section, the syntax is demonstrated, the values are explained, and the term is defined. Simpler terms have shorter explanations; longer and more complex terms have longer and more detailed explanations. (Look in the "Look Inside" option for this title. Go, page by page, over the index and table of contents and you'll see what I mean. This was what convinced me to get the book in the first place.)
Yes, there are pages of text explaining web standards, general and specific rules for HTML, XHTML, and CSS, the peculiarities of browsers, markup language and many other topics. But these are also found in other books. The absolute strength of this reference is the clear and logical presentation of the terms that we need to invoke in order for a browser to understand our intentions. For this to happen, it helps if we know how to write what we want and the correct way to write it.
