A small army of people were instrumental in the writing of this book. First, I’d like
to thank my editor, Richard Koman, for his support, vision, and flexibility. On the
flip side, I’d also like to thank him for the long leash, the trust inmyvision, and
his appropriateinflexibility (the results of which were a better book).
I’d also like to thank Tim O’Reilly for his careful crafting of the “In a Nutshell”
series and for giving me the green light on this book.
Thanks also go to Ron Woodall, creator of the HTML Compendium, for his proac-
tive assistance in providing browser support information. I encourage you to
