Unlike basic HTML guides, this book is crafted for web designers and
developers who have already gained a working familiarity with the basics
of HTML and web design. These advanced users want to take their markup
further, making it leaner and more semantically rich, for more
efficient, more usable and accessible web sites. HTML Mastery does all
this and more, discussing and demonstrating all available HTML tags,
including less common ones. The book explains where and how to use them,
and offers styling and scripting techniques that can be employed in
sophisticated web sites. In addition, the book also explores some of the
advanced semantic tools that look to further improve the usability and
semantic value of sites. HTML Mastery devotes an entire chapter to
Microformats, and gives the reader a preview of XHTML 2.0 and Web
Applications 1.0 -- web standards of the future.
