table of contents xvi 7 Putting I like keeping up with trends and technologies. XHTML is the future, and since it’s almost exactly like HTML, why not go with the better technology? moving to xhtml the ‘X’ into HTML We’ve been keeping a dirty secret from you. We know you thought you bought an HTML book, but this is really an XHTML book in disguise. In fact, we’ve been teaching you mostly XHTML all along. You’re probably wondering, just what the heck is XHTML? Well, meet eXtensible HTML – otherwise known as XHTML – the next evolution of HTML. It’s leaner, meaner, and even more tuned for compatibility with a wide range of devices beyond browsers. In this short little chapter we’re going to get you from HTML to XHTML in three simple steps. So, turn the page, you’re almost there... (and then we’re on to CSS). Maintains her own blog. What is XML? 267 What does this have to do with HTML? 268 So why would you want to use XHTML? 270 The XHTML 1.0 checklist 272 Going from strict HTML to XHTML 1.0 274 Old school HTML 4.01 Strict 275 New and improved XHTML 1.0 275 Validation: it’s not just for HTML 277 Fireside Chat 280 HTML or XHTML?

Five-Minute Mystery 8 Adding getting started with CSS a Little Style I was told there’d be CSS in this book. So far you’ve been concentrating on learning XHTML to create the structure of your Web pages. But as you can see, the browser’s idea of style leaves a lot to be desired. Sure, we could call the fashion police, but we don’t need to. With CSS, you’re going to completely control the presentation of your pages, often without even changing your XHTML. Could it really be so easy? Well, you are going to have to learn a new language; after all, Webville is a bilingual town. After reading this chapter’s guide to learning the language of CSS, you’re going to be able to stand on either side of Main Street and hold a conversation. You’re not in Kansas anymore... 286 Overheard on Webville’s “Trading Spaces” 288 Using CSS with XHTML 289 Let’s put a line under the welcome message, too 295 Specifying a second rule, just for the 296 Getting the Lounge style into the elixirs and directions pages 303 Linking to the external style sheet 305 It’s time to talk about your inheritance... 311 What if we move the font up the family tree? 312 Overriding inheritance 314 Creating a selector for the class 318 Taking classes further... 320 The world’s smallest and fastest guide to how styles are applied 322 Who gets the inheritance? 326 Making sure the Lounge CSS validates 329 Exercise Solutions 333 head html meta title style h1 p p h2 p body img a em a xvii
