Looking for good HTML references? Burn them books!!!! They are usually outdated by the time they hit the shelves or soon after. For a good (great) source check out http://builder.com

Hi folks!
First, I'd like to thank all of you for the helpful advice you sent me
concerning my .pdf crisis. Thanks to your e-mails, the problem has been
resolved.
My second question to you kind folks concerns HTML. Mainly, what do you
consider a good resource (book) for Web publishing. I need to make online
help in straight HTML for our software, which is to be run on Unix. I need
this online help to be as browser independent as possible, yet I keep
running into books that are either geared for Netscape or IE. I think I need
a general HTML reference that is not written for "Dummies", but is on an
intermediate level. Any suggestions?
Thank You in Advance.
