has always been a sufficient reference for me; books always seemed like a bit of a waste of money. The spec is not a good way to learn the basics of html, but if you can put together a basic page already then I don't see the need for a book. My opinion is that books which teach you how to get particular visual effects in HTML are inherently evil; HTML was never intended for visual effects. I could rant for a long time on this topic, but it was all done very comprehensively in a thread a couple of months age; 'web standards' was the subject, I think. Regards Tom
