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.
