My 2 cents. "HTML and CSS The Good Parts" Ben Henick O'Reilly. Just started it and I have already learned much. This book I picked up on the strength of a recommendation in Reuven Lerner's column in Linux Journal. Over the years his advice has been invaluable and I generally find his recommendations worth at least investigating and generally worthwhile in the end. -- Adrian Klaver [email protected] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-users This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/[email protected]
