I'm currently teaching myself HTML 4.0 by reading "HTML 4 for Dummies: Quick Reference" but the problem is that the book doesn't describe the tags thoroughly and the examples are even worse. This is the worst "For Dummies" book I've read. So... if it's not against the rules, could some one post a good URL?

One of the best.

Thank you very much Caboose .

You should read the sticky discussions atop the board. There is one in this board with helpful references and tools that adequately answered your question. This is mentioned in the sticky and I strongly recommend using it: Notepad++
