Zeldman is an idealist who devotes some of his book to explaining how much easier life would be if browser developers would just support standards properly (he's done a lot toward this goal in real life, as well). He is also a pragmatist, who recognizes that browsers implement standards differently (or partially, or not at all) and that it is the job of the Web designer to make pages work anyway. Thus, his book includes lots of explicit and tightly focused tips (with code) that have to do with bamboozling non-compliant browsers into behaving as they should, without tripping up more compliant browsers. There's lots of coverage of design and testing tools that can aid in the creation of good-looking, standards-abiding documents. --David Wall
Topics covered: Why Web standards (such as XHTML, CSS, ECMAScript, and DOM) are good for everyone, and why site designers and browser makers should move towards standards compliance.

So many web pages suck. If you want to know why ebay pages are so bad, or why yahoo sucks or why your PDA browser display looks so bad, or why web pages take so long to render or all kinds of other web boo boos, then read this book and find out how web pages should be written.
If you are writing a public funded website you will need this book even more, as it is part of your disability equality duty to write accessible web pages (in the UK at least). (
