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

Product Description
Combining the strength of HTML with the flexibility of XML, Extensible Markup Language sets you free to create the kinds of Web pages you’ve always imagined. And the best thing is, it’s really easy to get the hang of XHTML. If you can give directions to the post office, you can design and build a Web page with XHTML. But here’s the catch: While XHTML isn’t hard to learn, it does pack a welter of details that you have to wrestle into submission while you build your Web pages. Mastering that will take some practice and a little coaching from a knowledgeable friend–which is what you get with XHTML For Dummies.

XHTML For Dummies is a friendly, approachable guide to tackling the terminology and mastering the tools of XHTML. Written for absolutely anyone interested in creating readable and attractive Web pages–regardless of degree of computer savvy or markup language experience–it quickly gets you on track with the kn owledge and skills needed to:

  • Make Web pages that look exactly how you imagine them
  • Manage XHTML style and layout
  • Create cool XHTML page layouts
  • Create content readable on all Internet–ready devices
  • Quickly and easily convert HTML documents into XHTML
  • Create sheets and DTDs
  • Use tools to determine browser capability
  • Rev up e–commerce applications

From the basics of tags and elements to advanced topics, such as creating dynamic Web pages with DOM, XHTML For Dummies covers all the bases for novices and experienced Web developers alike, including:

  • Styling XHTML with CSS
  • Presentation and text controls
  • Using XHTML tables effectively
  • Java, multimedia, and scripting
  • Modularizing XHTML and creating dynamic Web pages with DOM

Packed with working examples, clear step–by–step explanations and hot tips on how to get the most out of XHTML this is everyone’s total guide to mastering the latest Web design language.
