XHTML in Easy Steps
"XHTML in easy steps" instructs the reader how to create web pages that can be viewed on traditional desktop browsers and on small handheld devices. It describes the major features of Extensible HyperText Markup Language (XHTML) and Cascading Stylesheets (CSS). There are code examples of each important aspect of XHTML and browser screenshots
that illustrate how that code may appear on a PC web browser and on a modern XHTML-enabled cellphone.
"XHTML in easy steps" begins by examining the evolution of XHTML then explains the basic structure of a XHTML document. The book describes how to incorporate information about a document within its 'head' section before moving on to demonstrate how to add its actual content. This includes plain text, lists, tables, hyperlinks, submission forms, Java applets, sound and video. Many examples are provided showing how Cascading Stylesheets can be used to control the appearance of the document content. The reader need have no previous knowledge of any markup language as each chapter builds the reader's knowledge of XHTML. By the end of this book the reader will have gained a sound understanding of how XHTML web pages can be created for viewing on traditional and handheld browsers. They will then be able to create their own XHTML web pages which they can upload to a web server for display on the Internet.
"XHTML in easy steps" has an easy-to-follow style that will appeal to anyone who wants to begin writing universal web pages.
