Book Description
New from the internationally bestselling author of The HTML 4.0 Sourcebook
XHTML is a powerful new tool for creating Web sites that can be viewed from devices other than the PC, such as TV and palm-top computers. Written by the author of the international bestseller, The HTML 4.0 Sourcebook (over 150,000 copies sold), this two-part set is the first complete guide to understanding and mastering XHTML 1.0.
XHTML 1.0 Language and Design Sourcebook —Ian S. Graham (Toronto, Canada)
In XHTML 1.0 Language and Design Sourcebook, Ian Graham focuses on the needs of Webmasters and Web designers. Writing from a design-oriented point of view, he uses a wealth of real-life examples to introduce readers to the basics of HTML/XHTML and to acquaint them with XHTML's powerful new array of features. He explores the principles of good document design, shows them how to work effectively with graphics and images, and educates them in the principles of strategic site design.
The companion Web site features resources, utilities, and examples from the book.

Customer Reviews & Comments
Ever wondered what next after HTML 4.0.... There will not be a HTML 5.0. HTML is not extensible.... imagine needing new tags for some purpose,... you will be stuck with what is available in that version of HTML. Thus the need for an extensible markup language and hence the need for XHTML... Whether you like it or not, XHTML which uses ideas from XML will be here to stay. This book is your key to learning XHTML, and also the explanation on style sheets are well done. What I regard as good is the clear explanation provided by the author, with references to the coding in the book. I find line-by-line explanation of code the best way to know what is going on; in contrast, some authors do not provide detailed explanation and I think this will leave the reader unsure of some parts of coding. Why code in this way and not in another way?--- Yes, it would be certainly enlightening to know answers to such a question. He does bring this up where appropriate. That is a plus, plus to me. If you have a firm foundation of HTML and some basic knowledge of CSS, this book will be a gem to you, otherwise, if you do not know HTML well, XHTL is not for you yet and you cannot blame the author if you cannot understand (since you do not have the foundation). After HTML, the next step is learning XHTML. This book will help you to see, appreciate and learn XHTML. Thanks Ian, for writing such a book !
