HTML & XHTML Pocket Reference 3rd Edition
After years of using spacer GIFs, layers of nested tables,
and other improvised solutions for building your web sites,
getting used to the more stringent "standards-compliant"
design that is de rigueur among professionals today can be
intimidating.
With standards-driven design, keeping style separate from
content
is not just a possibility but a reality. You no
longer use HTML and XHTML as design tools, but strictly as
ways to define the meaning and structure of web content. And
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are no longer just something
interesting to tinker with, but a reliable method for
handling all matters of presentation, from fonts and colors
to page layout. When you follow the standards, both the
site's design and underlying code are much cleaner. But how
do you keep all those HTML and XHTML tags and CSS values
straight?
Jennifer Niederst-Robbins, the author of our definitive
guide on standards-compliant design, Web Design in a
Nutshell, offers you the perfect little guide when you need
answers immediately: HTML and XHTML Pocket Reference. This
revised and updated new edition takes the top 20% of vital
reference information from her Nutshell book, augments it
judiciously, cross-references everything, and organizes it
according to the most common needs of web developers. The
result is a handy book that offers the bare essentials on
web standards in a small, concise format that you can use
carry anywhere for quick reference. This guide will
literally fit into your back pocket.
Inside HTML and XHTML Pocket Reference, you'll find
instantly accessible alphabetical listings of every element
and attribute in the HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0
Recommendations. This is an indispensable reference for any
serious web designer, author, or programmer who needs a fast
on-the-job resource when working with established web
standards.
