Indeed, the W3C pages are worthwhile, but pretty hard work. Thanks for the link though, I'll look into that in more depth when I'm at work and therefore don't have anything better to do.

Thanks Peter, but I'm one of those weirdoes that likes a book next to me while I work on the computer. Strange, no?

 

But you raise a good point about bandwagon jumpers. If Danny Goodman had revised his Dynamic HTML reference since 2006 to include HTML5 I'd snap it up in a heartbeat. The first two editions are indispensable to me. In fact, I might just get the third edition because it covers Ajax and I know little about it.

I've found that the Mozilla Developer Network is a good reference, btw, should you want to look things up.

In fact, I have a whole pile of bookmarks relating to webdev :O One really nice one is jsFiddle, which lets you experiment with HTML, CSS and/or JS (and a library like jQuery or Dojo) without having to set up a whole page to do so. It's great for trying out quick ideas.

Oooh, that jsFiddle link looks good, thankee!
