Web Design in a Nutshell, 2nd Edition

Acknowledgments

A small army of people were instrumental in the writing of this book. First, I’d like to thank my editor, Lorrie LeJeune, for her support and for keeping this project pleasant despite its breakneck schedule. I also greatly appreciate the time and attention of executive editor Paula Ferguson, who really knows how to whip a book into shape. Thanks also to Richard Koman, the editor of the first edition, which provided a solid foundation for this current edition.

Thanks to Bill Peña for writing chapters on JavaScript and DHTML (despite his many other duties at O’Reilly).

This edition was greatly improved by the thoughtful comments of a bevy of technical reviewers: Lane Becker (for his thorough cover-to-cover treatment), Ian Graham (and his uncanny knowledge of HTML and XML), Eric Meyer (Mr. CSS), Greg Roelofs (King of PNG), Timothy Plumer, Jr. (Adobe Acrobat), Lisa Coen (Flash and Shockwave), Josh Beggs (audio), Derek Story and Steve McCannell (video), and Bob Eckstein (WAP and WML).

Thanks also go to Ron Woodall, creator of the HTML Compendium, which provided the basis for the browser support charts in the first edition. I encourage you to check out the Compendium’s site (http://www.htmlcompendium.org) for a complete list of tags and attributes, both current and obsolete, with detailed descriptions and browser support information.

Thanks to the following people who provided various forms of assistance, information, and tools I required to get my job done: Paul Anderson ...
