"Web Design in a Nutshell" provides access to the wide range of technologies and techniques from which Web designers and authors must draw. It is a reference for HTML 4.0 tags (including tables, frames, and cascading style sheets) with special attention given to browser support and platform idiosyncrasies. The HTML section details strange behaviour in tables, for instance, and gives ideas and solutions for using tables and frames on your site. This book also covers multimedia and interactivity, audio and video, Dynamic HTML, XML, embedded fonts and internationalization. It includes: discussions of the Web environment, monitors, and browsers; a complete reference to HTML and Server Side Includes, including browser support for every tag and attribute; chapters on creating GIF, JPEG and PNG graphics, including designing with the Web Palette; information on multimedia and interactivity, including audio, video, Flash, Shockwave, and JavaScript; detailed tutorial and reference on cascading style sheets, including an appendix of browser compatibility information; appendices detailing HTML tags, attributes, deprecated tags, proprietary tags and CSS compatibility.
Jennifer Niederst was one of the first Web designers. As the designer of O'Reilly's Global Network Navigator (GNN), the first commercial Web site, she has been designing for the Web since 1993. Since then, she has been working almost exclusively on the Web, first as creative director of Songline Studios (a subsidiary of O'Reilly) where she designed the original interface for WebReview (webreview.com), and as a freelance designer and consultant since 1996. She is the author of Designing for the Web (O'Reilly, 1996), and has taught Web design at the Massachusetts College of Art and the Interactive Factory in Boston, MA. She has spoken at major design and Internet events including the GRAFILL conference (Geilo, Norway), Seybold Seminars, and the W3C International Expo.
