Sizzling HTML Jalfrezi is a comprehensive guide to writing web sites. Whether you're a beginner or a design professional, you'll find what you need here; quickly and clearly. Our unique system of examples makes Jalfrezi both the perfect learning tool and superlative web authoring reference.

I have assumed that you already know what HTML is, have tried giving it go and are now looking to expand your HTML vocabulary or learn more about the code used. (If you haven't reached this stage yet, see NCSA's Beginner's Guide to HTML for some excellent beginner's info).

I have compiled all the HTML elements and associated attributes I am currently aware of - I do not propose that this an absolutely comprehensive guide, but hopefully there's enough stuff here for it to be of some use. All HTML 4.0 elements are included, as well as most unofficial elements including Netscape and Microsoft extensions.

I have been writing web pages for since 1994 and I am a member of the HTML Writers' Guild. I also wrote Pompeii Interactive, the Crate Research and Application Project, Chicken-Tikka-Masala.co.uk and my own web site. In other words, what you read here is my personal interpretation of HTML - I hope it is of some use. If you disagree with anything I say or have something to add, please feel free to mail me. This Guide was written using the gorgeous HTML Notepad.

Here's what you'll find...

A to Z of HTML

All the HTML tags including Netscape and Internet Explorer extensions, sorted in alphabetical order. Every tag entry contains an easy to understand description of all its attributes with examples of use for each. This way you can cut n' paste the example code straight into your web pages...
