It’s about time!

I was wondering around PC World yesterday (well, I am still waiting for Internet Access at home! What’s a girl to do?) and I stumbled upon this book: Web Designer’s Reference.

Did you know that a and a:link reference different things? The a selector styles all anchors ie,

< a href = " #topofpage " > Top of the page < / a >

The a:link selector is for all other links!

There is also a very handy xhtml reference listed in an easy to find format. My favourite chapter is about tables. Yes someone has actually discussed when they should be used. I really think this needs addressing as the confusion surrounding this topic is frustrating.

This book is good for beginners and advanced web folk who want to either learn the basics in the correct way or for advanced users it’s good to have as a reference to ensuring your code is xhtml compliant with a nice dose of CSS best practices.
