Product Description:
Sitting at the foundation of every site is HTML. It's the only language that's essential to a web site's very existence. On the surface HTML may seem simple but there's much more to it that meets the eye. With different versions, many infrequently used elements and attributes, and varying ways that browsers interpret the language, only a comprehensive and up-to-date reference, like this book, has it completely covered.
The Ultimate HTML Reference is your definitive resource for mastering HTML. The entire language is clearly and concisely covered, along with browser compatibility details, working examples, and easy-to-read descriptions. Authored by one of the world's most renowned HTML experts, this is a comprehensive reference that you'll come back to time and time again.
This cross-referenced, easy-to-use book covers:
Every element and attribute in the HTML and XHTML Specifications, including an example of its correct use Coverage of deprecated and proprietary elements Detailed browser compatibility information will save you hours of painful debugging and frustration

I wouldn't call this the Ultimate Reference. Lacking more advanced HTML tags and properties, but the tags/properties that it does cover is in great detail. Great for beginners, lacking for more advanced html coding.

If you've ventured at all into web sites, blogging, and social media, you find yourself running into HTML. Visual editor tools are fine for getting the effects you want into writing, but that is slow and limited. For the greatest flexibility in formatting text, creating tables and lists, inserting pictures, and many other tasks, a knowledge of HTML is handy. The Ultimate HTML Reference by Ian Lloyd is a reference book that should be close by a dictionary, thesaurus, or volume on English usage.
I've found myself frequently reaching for it when trying to remember how to control a table layout in a blog entry or double-checking how to get a link to open in a new window. The material is complete so far as I can tell, and the organization, including TOC and index, is strong and lets me easily find what I need. At $45 it isn't a cheap volume, but could easily save you its cost in time efficiency in your first time or two of using it.
I do wish that the index were more ... Read More

This reference (together with The Ultimate CSS Reference) is a must have for any professional or home-user who whats to know all about the possibilities of HTML.
It can be used to check which element is supported by all major browsers (with the exception of the lastest Firefox release 3.0). It has a very usefull index, brief but clear descriptions and its size and format makes it easy to use.

This is the most complete HTML reference I have ever seen. While it is not a textbook, it certainly lives up to being the Ultimate HTML reference. It is as valuable of a recource as many of the other reviewers have said.
