Summary: Fantastic book, Lousy index, full of blather
Comment: We're using this book in a college course I'm taking. This book contains a massive amount of REALLY good information, which has been buried in a landslide of unnecessary blather. Add to this the complete lack of a sensible, extensive index, and this book leaves me so frustrated, I am nearly ready to drop the class. (see below..)
The vast amount of useful information in the book makes it difficult to remember it all at one time. But it's impossible to refer back and find something a week after I've read it without leafing through an entire chapter or more, page by page, because the index is so brief and incomplete.
With a good, complete index, I'd give this book 4.5 stars for it's excellent content (withholding 1/2 star for all the blather). Without a usable index, the book is nearly worthless to me.
GOOD NEWS UPDATE!! The O'Reilly people have replied to my complaint about the index. They're compiling, and will be uploading a complete, extensive index online in January 2008! Too late for my class, but hey! Someone really does listen. Thanks, O'Reilly!

Summary: Excellent resource to teach yourself XHTML
Comment: This book was recommended to me as one of the better books to teach yourself XHTML. I was not disappointed. It provides a lot of good examples and walks you through real scenarios. It does not include a lot of reference tables, etc., so you should complement this book with one or more reference manuals of XHTML, CSS, etc. This book really helped me understand XHTML.
