  Full Description

HTML and its XML-based descendant, XHTML, are the fundamental languages for working on the web, and the new edition of our popular HTML guide offers web developers a better way to become fluent in these languages. HTML & XHTML: The Definitive Guide, 5th Edition is the most comprehensive, up-to-date book available on HTML and XHTML. It covers Netscape Navigator 6, Internet Explorer 6, HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0, CSS2, and all of the features supported by the popular web browsers.

  Learning HTML and XHTML is like learning any new language. Most students first immerse themselves in examples. Studying others is a natural way to learn; however, it's as easy to learn bad habits through imitation as it is to acquire good ones. The better way to become HTML-fluent is through a comprehensive reference that covers the language syntax, semantics, and variations in detail and demonstrates the difference between good and bad usage.

  In HTML & XHTML: The Definitive Guide, the authors cover every element of HTML/XHTML in detail, explaining how each element works and how it interacts with other elements. Tips about HTML/XHTML style help you write documents ranging from simple online documentation to complex presentations. With hundreds of examples, the book gives you models for writing your own effective web pages and for mastering advanced features like style sheets and frames.

  HTML & XHTML: The Definitive Guide, 5th Edition, shows how to:

          Use style sheets to control a document's appearance

  Work with programmatically generated HTML

  Create tables, from simple to complex

  Use frames to coordinate sets of documents

  Design and build interactive forms and dynamic documents

  Insert images, sound files, video, Java applets, and JavaScript programs

  Create documents that look good on a variety of browsers

  Make the transition to XHTML

      The book comes with a handy quick-reference card listing HTML/XHTML tags.
