Very limited information. A serious lack of examples. I made a big mistake buying this book.

Summary of HTML Mastery: Semantics, Standards, and Styling

That's where this unique book comes init's aimed at web designers and developers who have already mastered the basics of HTML and web design, but want to take their markup further, making it leaner and more semantically rich, for a more efficient, more usable/accessible web site.

It is totally standards compliant, up to date with modern web design techniques. Forms and tables are looked in particular detail, as there is so much that can be done with them.
