Pretty good, but one glaring omission,  December 03 2007

The information in this book is very good. I'm glad I bought it, but it has one incredibly frustrating glaring omission: There are no guide words at the tops of the pages in the attributes reference section. This is about 2/3 of the book, and is really the main reason for buying it. You can't flip through to find what you need, you have to stop & scan each page.


Excelent Book,  October 17 2007

What can I say? Its the CSS reference to have. The only problem I have, and maybe I am just blind, is the chart showing every element and cross browser compatibility -- because its not there!
