HTML & XHTML DeMYSTiFieD

Hard stuff made easy! Your practical, self-paced guide to HTML and XHTML

HTML and XHTML Demystified is a hands-on tutorial that gives you thorough guidance on required Web design techniques and technologies. The book also functions as a useful supplement for textbooks and classroom activities by focusing on the essentials and the most useful tags and properties, while avoiding unnecessary details.

Learn to create Web pages, add graphics and links, create tables and frames, integrate forms, and more. Each chapter features valid HTML that follows all of the rules set by the W3C and incorporates the latest standards for HTML5. Web designers need to write pages that are accessible to all users, so each chapter is coded to address the accessibility requirements from the Americans with Disabilities Act and to allow the use of non-English characters.
