XHTML, the new worldwide standard Web markup language, delivers the best of both worlds: the simplicity and accessibility of HTML, and the power and extensibility of XML. Now there"s a developer"s guide to XHTML that teaches by example, helping every Web developer and designer leverage their existing HTML skills to create richer sites -- and deliver content on an unprecedented range of platforms, from desktop PCs to wireless phones and digital TVs. Co-authored by Dave Raggett -- leader of the W3C"s XHTML standards group and lead architect of HTML-- this book covers every aspect of XHTML development, from basic syntax to style sheets, tables and frames to forms and scripts. XHTML Example by Example first presents the rationale for XHTML, demonstrating how XHTML bridges the gap between yesterday"s HTML pages and tomorrow"s sophisticated XML applications. It introduces the basic syntax of XHTML, demonstrating how HTML pages can be reformulated in XHTML without compromising compatibility with existing browsers. Finally, XHTML Example by Example presents two detailed case studies: a rich application targeted at the desktop, and a "lean and mean" wireless Web application.
