title: HTML Sourcebook: A Complete Guide to HTML 3.2 and HTML Extensions (Sourcebooks)
author:  Ian S. Graham 
description: Every serious Web master and Web designer should have the most current edition of the <i>HTML Sourcebook</i> on his or her desk. This book manages to touch on nearly every aspect of Web site design and maintenance, all in a single volume. The bulk of this book is devoted to HTML 3.2, including proprietary extensions. Each tag has a full explanation, including an example of how it is used and how it interacts with other tags. The authors make sure to point out cases where Netscape and Microsoft implementations differ, as well as cases where browsers have bugs that affect the rendering of specific tags. A fair amount of attention is given to advanced topics such as cascading style sheets, scripting, and internationalization.
