I've written up some instructions on setting up a web-development
environment using psgml and emacs here:

http://www.dzr-web.com/people/darren/projects/emacs-webdev/

>From the page:

        The following is intended to provide instructions for setting up
        an (X)HTML editing environment for Emacs suitable for Web
        Developers. It uses psgml-mode for SGML/XML editing in
        conjunction with the DTDs for (X)HTML from the W3C, and uses
        mmm-mode to define sub-modes for Javascript (using
        javascript-generic-mode), CSS (using css-mode), and PHP (using
        php-mode). It also provides support from within Emacs for HTML
        Tidy.

Comments welcome.

Best, Darren
