Rating: The need to separate layout from the content during web page design/implementation process is a strong selling point made in this book. The logical content separation can be taken further by discussing separating static from dynamic content, ie, HTML vs. JavaScript and by discussing dynamic client and server-generated content, ie, JavaScript vs. ActiveX/jdbc/dbi; neither of these points are mentioned in this book. The author plunges into CSS and the first few chapters are very handy. The presentations on how CSS is hierarchical, supports inheritance, the numerous demos of various CSS tags/units is worthwhile. Too bad this book could not be printed in color. The down side to the topic is the very poor CSS support by Netscape 4.x browsers. --------------
