Quiz

You've taken 23 quizzes in 24 hours! Instead of taking another, may I suggest that you congratulate yourself for a job well done, take a break, and treat yourself to something special? You deserve it.

Exercise

• Back from your break yet? Now that you've learned HTML and have your Web site online, this book can still help you make it better and better. You may want to review the Q&A sections throughout the book and Appendix A, "Readers' Most Frequently Asked Questions." Be sure to also stick a bookmark at the beginning of Appendix C, the "Complete HTML 4 Quick Reference." Exploring the "Exercises" sections that you might have skipped the first time around will help build your HTML skills as well.

  I'm sure you haven't yet explored all the oodles and oodles of entertaining examples and tutorial tips at the 24-Hour HTML Café. That's 24hourHTMLcafe.com, where the JavaScript is hot and the HTML never stops flowing. See you there!
