Guide Review - Instant IE4 Dynamic HTML
Once you know HTML you will be ready to jump into the world of Dynamic HTML, and this book will help you. You will learn how to take your basic Web page and make it do a whole lot more than HTML can provide for. Style sheets and object models are just the beginning. When you delve into this book you will find a whole new world of information and things you can do with your Web site.
