What You Need to Know

This book assumes you've already got some knowledge of HTML (and perhaps some CSS experience as well); you've built a site or two (or at least a page or two) and have some familiarity with the sea of tags—<html>, <p>, <h1>, <table>, and so on—that make up the Hypertext Markup Language. CSS doesn't do anything without HTML, so to move forward you need to know how to create a Web page using basic HTML.

If you have used HTML to create Web pages, but feel like your knowledge is a bit rusty, the next section provides a basic refresher.
