HTML for the World Wide Web, 2nd Edition: Visual QuickStart Guide, is a step-by-step guide on using Hypertext Markup Language to design pages for the World Wide Web. The book presumes no prior knowledge of HTML, or even the Internet, and uses clear, concise instructions for creating each element of a Web page. From the title and headers and your company's logo to complex tables and clickable graphics, this book covers it all. Because of its well-organized format, the book will also serve as a day-to-day reference for experienced Web designers.
Each section is illustrated with examples of the actual code used to create a page alongside the resulting page, enabling readers to visually understand each component. Expanded coverage in this edition includes such topics as style sheets and frames, progressive JPEG images and animated GIFs, font and column width controls. The book also offers a variety of tips on creating good-looking pages and how to avoid common pitfalls of Web design.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR

| Elizabeth Castro | I began working with the Macintosh in a software development and distribution company called CTA, in Barcelona, Spain. My first project was the translation of an OCR program into English, which was quickly followed by the translation of Aldus PageMaker (version 3!) into Spanish. My department, Publications, was soon translating other programs from Aldus, as well as software from Agfa, Farallon and the Wheels for the Mind magazine for Apple Computer Spain.
In 1990, I founded P‡gina Uno together with Oriol Carb—. One of P‡gina Uno's first projects was the translation of The Macintosh Bible, 3rd edition, into Spanish: La Biblia del Macintosh. It was a great success, thanks to the unerring tone of Arthur Naiman combined with the brilliant translation of José Rafael Garc’a Bermejo (affectionately known as Coti) and Oriol Carb—, among others. P‡gina Uno published several more Peachpit books about the Macintosh in Spanish and also began to localize Adobe products like Photoshop, Premiere and Dimensions into Spanish.
In 1993, I left P‡gina Uno (and my beloved Barcelona) and returned to the US to edit the fifth edition of the Mac Bible.
