Learn XHTML Tutorial
Introduction
In the XHTML Zone you will learn about XHTML and how to make use of it in
your website - start reading to learn about XHTML
Basics.
86 page XHTML Reference This 86 page XHTML Reference covers all the tags and events that you may need to know about, when programming to output XHTML pages.
HTML Comes of Age: XHTML Let's get the bad news out of the way right up front: Ladies and gentlemen, the wild and wooly days of the Web are over and done. Those of you who have learned to get away with all of the HTML tricks that fool browsers into doing your bidding are going to be very sad. But those of you who embrace XML and its demand for rigid adherence to structure will flourish in the New Web.
Working with XHTML XHTML - the eXtensible HyperText Markup Language - is simply HTML 4.0 written as an application of XML, and as such opens up the possibility of manipulating HTML in the same way as you would work with XML.
Understanding XForms In this chapter, we cover the newest technology in Web forms, XForms. And when we say new, we mean really new. XForms is currently a "work in progress" at the W3C. So, in this chapter, we just provide you with a very brief overview of XForms.
XHTML - Links This is a continuation of the XHTML Basics series by Scott. We're going to talk about how to build links and how they work in XHTML. As was discussed last time, XHTML is HTML 4 with an XML flavor, so as a topic is covered we'll be discussing any differences between HTML and XHTML.
XHTML: Introduction to Tables This is the third article in our series of XHTML, written by Scott Klein, which is aimed at beginner HTML starters. For the experts it details any differences between XHTML and HTML for tables. It is a basic introduction to tables in XHTML, which covers how to construct a table and the options available with different properties.
This is the second article in a series that Scott is writing for topxml.com on the basics of XHTML after his introduction article.
The focus of this article is to explain why XHML is important and the basics of an XHTML construct. It then details how the DTD that one defines in an XHTML document relates to the XHTML Elements.
The Basics of XHTML Follow along with Scott as he teaches how to write well-formed documents using XHTML, and start writing HTML pages that are fully compatible with XML enabled devices. Scott gives us code samples that help to build a great foundation for producing cutting-edge XHTML.
Extensible Markup Comes of Age in XHTML As the World Wide Web approaches old age-in Internet years-it's showing some serious growing pains, wrinkles, and stress marks. Existing HTML standards allow sloppy Web coding and don't allow inclusion of custom tags, placing the burden on browser vendors to create their own tags. XML allows for flexible, extensible data markup, but doesn't have formatting features. The World Wide Consortium, with the participation of Microsoft, has introduced a new standard, XHTML, that takes the best from both HTML and XML to create an extensible Web markup language that can make your pages viewable by a wider audience. But there's a cost: your pages have to more rigorously follow the standard than ever before. This session explores the benefits and risks of using this new technology.
