Best I've Found
Leave it to Microsoft to let it go out of print and replace it with crappy titles that mainly shill for Microsoft products. This is the best book for learning HTML that I have found.

If you've had trouble gettin JavaScript - this is your book!
0 and later now owns more than 80% of the browser market. The simple fact is: Internet Explorer 4. Because of this, the books focus on the browser is not necessarily a bad thing. Plus, it's a Microsoft book - anyone who buys it thinking it will cater completely to Netscape Navigator is fooling themself.

Eitherway, this book is amazing for people wanting to begin their quest on learning DHTML. Though I have been professionally designing web pages for years, I have been forced to focus on ASP driven pages or static HTML pages. JavaScript has consistently alluded my understanding. VBScript was easy. JavaScript has never made much sense and I have lost interest in learning it, book after book.

However, this book teaches you unbelievably well. I was literally JOYED to see the way that this book was explaining things to me, ONE event, one action, one attribute at a time. It was so refreshing to have things slowly doled out to you rather than be tossed in over your head, gasping for air.

If you don't know much about JavaScript/DHTML and are interested in learning - this is your book. Pick it up immediately. Yes, it's older, but the foundation it gives you is wonderful.

Disappointing
The writing is vague. I can't believe this book was ever published. If the authors/editors understood their subject matter they should be able to explain it. Very disappointing. Writing too vague for a beginner; too brief for an intermediate.
