Dear Reader,

The development of the Internet and consequently the further development of Internet languages and technologies continues at a breakneck pace. The Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) version 4.0 has of course been on the market for some time. Only now does this language seem to have reached its point of maturity and lies at the cutting edge of technology.

Only the varied assortment of browsers, each supporting different standards, make it difficult for HTML programmers to create compatible HTML sites. For this reason you will find a comprehensive quick reference section in this book which documents the compatibility of each tag and its attributes with diverse browsers.

If you have no experience with HTML the introduction will help get you started. Here you will learn how to program in easy-to-understand steps. In the introduction you will get to know the basic HTML technologies. With the help of the quick reference section you will be able to build your knowledge up to a professional level.

Finally I would like to draw your attention to a couple of interesting technologies (style sheets, Dynamic HTML etc.) detailed in the "Tips and tricks" section that are not directly connected with HTML 4.0 but make the life of an HTML programmer that much easier.

At this point I would like to thank all those who contributed (in whatever way) to the creation of this book:

Firstly I must mention Christina Gibbs, the editor at Addison-Wesley, who pulled out all the stops to allow me more time to write this book.

Further thanks goes to my brother Elmar Dellwig who took on a greater share of the production work on "JavaScript 1.3", the tandem title in The Addison-Wesley Nitty Gritty Programming Series, than was originally planned.

I mustn't forget my parents and friends who hardly saw me during the "white-hot" creative phase. Sorry, things will calm down again now -- promise!

Last but not least, I would like to thank the members of the Dortmund University Orchestra for being so thoughtful when I was immersed in my writing during our concert tour of Tuscany. Once again it was great fun touring with the orchestra.

Well, I hope you enjoy reading the book and that you find in it all the information you need about HTML 4. 0201758776P10162001
