Hard to follow 
However, this book does not stack up anywhere as readable as Castro's book. After reading Elizabeth Castro's HTML book I thought this would be a good next step. The CSS part is OK, but the javascript part is poor with hard-to-follow examples of Alice in Wonderland images. .
Good purchase
I wasn't quite sure what to expect though I have purchased Visual QuickStart books before and have been happy with them. I am about half way through the book and like it so far. All in all I feel like it was a good purchase that I can use.
Sloppy editing--typos all over! 
It is more than just careless typos. I don't know how all the mistakes in this book got past the editors. There are numerous inconsitancies between the CSS examples given and the web page results. Only as far as the second chapter, I've lost count of the inconsistancies--enough to make me give up on the book. I've checked out the companion web site, and the corrections are not to be found. The poor quality of the book also shakes my faith in Peachpit Press's Visual Quickstart series, which up until now I have enjoyed using. .
