I bought this book under the impression that it would be the "Complete reference for web design" and at the length of 901 pages thought it should do the trick. The trouble started when I realized the book was seriously lacking in examples of code. I have found myself on numerous occasions, unable to find simple things in this book.



The author dislikes the use of popup's and talks down to you if you would like to know how to make one. He goes as far as leaving the proper way to make one, completely out of the book.

This in my humble opinion is not the way to make a complete reference to web design. It's big on pages, and small in useful content.
