Acknowledgments
Many thanks to all those who helped with this book, including my students, who
always help me see technical issues through beginners' eyes, and Murray Summers,
whose technical edits provided a comfortable safety net to protect me from any
embarrassing gaffes. (Thanks to Danilo Celic, too, whose contributions as technical
editor for the previous edition of this book still shine through.)
Of course, without the hard work of the Dreamweaver team, this book wouldn't have
been possible.
Finally, thanks to David Pogue whose unflagging enthusiasm and endurance is inspiring;
my wife, Scholle, for always being there; my mom and Doug; Mary and David; and
Phyllis and Les, whose enthusiasm for this project never failed to encourage me.

The Missing Manual series is a joint venture between Pogue Pressthe dream team
introduced on these pagesand O'Reilly & Associates, one of the most respected
publishers on earth. It's only because Tim O'Reilly and his team had the vision to
take a gamble on this concept that this book came into existence.
Thanks, too, to agent David Rogelberg; David Sawyer McFarland, who was not only a
dream author but who performed an eleventh-hour "beta read" of his own; Tom and
Johnna Dinse for their masterful indexing talent; Jennifer Barber, Chuck Brandstater,
Kate Briggs, John Cacciatore, Laura Chavanne, Danny Marcus, and Sada Preisch for
their proofreading smarts; and the other PoguesJennifer, Kelly, and Tiawho make
this series, and everything else, possible.

The Missing Manual Series
Missing Manual books are designed to be superbly written guides to computer products
that don't come with printed manuals (which is just about all of them). Each book
features a handcrafted index, cross-references to specific page numbers (not just "see
Chapter 14"), and an ironclad promise never to use an apostrophe in the possessive
word its. Current and upcoming titles include:
