Murach's ASP.NET 3.5 with VB 2008
A crash course in HTML

This chapter presents the HTML essentials that you need for ASP.NET programming. By the end of it, you'll be able to modify the HTML that's generated by Visual Studio as needed. You'll also be able to enter the HTML for certain elements from scratch, whenever that makes sense. And you'll be able to take advantage of tools that make it easier to work with the cascading style sheets (CSS) that are used to format web pages nowadays.
