Remember...this is the Definitive Reference, not the Definitive Guide. Yes both are O'Reilly series and are related ("Definitive" books are supposed to be crammed full of information) but there is also a critical difference. Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Reference is more like a dictionary or a small encyclopedia (although "small" is in the eye of the beholder) than a textbook or teaching guide. The book assumes that you are at least somewhat "html-literate". Don't pick it up if you've never designed a webpage before.

The previous editions of this tome have been roaring successes so I'd expect that same from the current edition. As existing web standards continue to develop and new standards established, books like this will continue to evolve from first to second to third editions and beyond. XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, and DOM are the de facto languages of the modern web and both Ajax and Web 2.0 are becoming increasingly popular. Also popular web browsers such as Internet Explorer and Firefox keep evolving relative to those languages and standards, adding even more data to the mix.
