Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
If you are looking for an HTML book, don't stop reading yet. XHTML is also the latest version of HTML, and most of the information here applies equally to both. The main practical difference is that XHTML is stricter, but learning to do it right from the very beginning is no bad thing. This introduction provides the information you need to create advanced Web pages by working directly with XHTML code.
Beginning with a full explanation of what XHTML and HTML are all about, XHTML for Dummies goes on to explain elements and attributes, the building blocks of an XHTML page. Next there is an introduction to styling a page with CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), followed by a look at document structure and then text presentation. Further chapters cover hyperlinks, graphics and lists. The mysteries of special characters are uncovered, and there is a full guide to XHTML tables.
The later chapters are more advanced, and tackle clickable image maps, Web forms and using frames. Two chapters of tips cover common pitfalls and suggestions for good page design. Topics like Java, multimedia, scripting and dynamic HTML are introduced, with explanations of what they are and pointers to further resources rather than any real tutorial content. This sums up the book's approach, which is to ensure a good and up-to-date understanding of XHTML rather than attempting to cover every aspect in detail. It does this well, providing an excellent foundation. There is also an accompanying CD-ROM, packed with tools and utilities as well as all the examples from the book. --Tim Anderson
