Overview

The author of the best-selling Web Design in a Nutshell, Jennifer Niederst, delivers a concise guide to every HTML tag in this pocket reference.

Each tag entry includes:

  • Detailed information on the tag's attributes
  • Browser support information, including Netscape Navigator, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Opera, and WebTV
  • HTML 4.0 support information, including whether the tag is deprecated in the current spec

In addition to tag-by-tag descriptions, the book also includes several useful charts, including:

  • Character entities
  • Decimal-to-hexadecimal conversions
  • Color names

Niederst also provides context for the tags, indicating which tags are grouped together and bare-bones examples of how standard Web page elements are constructed.

This pocket reference is targeted at Web designers and Web authors and is likely to be the most dog-eared book on every Web professional's desk.

About the Author, Niederst


Jennifer Niederst was one of the first Web designers. She was the designer of O'Reilly's Global Network Navigator (GNN), the first commercial Web site and has been designing for the Web since 1993.

Since then, she has been working almost exclusively on the Web, first as creative director of Songline Studios (a subsidiary of O'Reilly) where she designed the original interface for WebReview (webreview.com), and as a freelance designer and consultant since 1996. She is the author of Designing for the Web (O'Reilly, 1996), and Web Design in a Nutshell (O'Reilly, 1999).

She has taught Web design at the Massachusetts College of Art and the Interactive Factory in Boston, MA. She has spoken at major design and Internet events including the GRAFILL conference (Geilo, Norway), Seybold Seminars, and the W3C International Expo.
