This updated and expanded Special Edition of Dan Cederholm's best-selling work focuses on web standards, which are the technology specifications set by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These standards ensure that web designers and browser manufacturers use consistent technology syntax, enabling content delivery to a broad audience and ensuring future compatibility. They enhance compatibility across various devices, including screen readers and mobile phones. HTML, XHTML, and CSS exemplify these technologies. This essential guide helps you understand the advantages of implementing web standards and how to apply them effectively. While XHTML and CSS are well-known, many web developers still overlook their benefits and the importance of adherence. The challenge lies in truly grasping these advantages and implementing the standards efficiently. The book is organized into 16 concise chapters, each addressing different web standards concepts and offering multiple solutions to common problems. You'll explore creating multicolumn layouts, optimizing image replacement techniques, and effectively using tables and lists. This modular approach allows for quick comprehension and practical application of web standards essentials.
