Inhaltsangabe

XHTML is a powerful tool for creating Web sites that can be viewed from devices other than the PC, such as television, palm-top computers and mobile telephones. XHTML - the new generation of HTML - gives Web authors a powerful and flexible tool for creating sites that can be viewed from more environments than a PC desktop by reworking HTML as a suite of XML tag sets. These tag sets save time, effort, and money by enabling XHTML authors to mark up a much wider range of information. For example, new forms allow database and workflow applications to be re-purposed for different devices. XHTML 1.0 also makes it possible for data in tables to be presented in different ways. Transformation tools, such as style sheets, scripts, and programs offer greater flexibility to be presented on different devices. Another important feature of XHTML is that it remedies the problem of having the same document look different on different browsers. XHTML establishes conformance profiles, which specify information such as exactly which HTML tags a given device will support In this sourcebook, Ian Graham focuses on the needs of Webmasters and Web designers. Writing from a design-oriented point of view, he uses real-life examples to introduce readers to the basics of HTML/XHTML and to acquaint them with XHTML's powerful new array of features. He explores the principles of good document design, shows them how to work effectively with graphics and images, and educates them in the principles of strategic site design. The companion Web site features resources, utilities, and examples from the book.

In XHTML 1.0 Language and Design Sourcebook, bestselling author Ian Graham introduces you to HTML, XHTML, and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)––the language for controlling how these documents look when viewed by a Web browser. Beginning with a clear tutorial on HTML, XHTML, and CSS, you′ll quickly learn the basic ideas of markup and style sheet formatting. The book then goes into the details of XHTML, carefully explaining the role of each language component and the purpose of the various CSS mechanisms by which the default formatting can be controlled.
