Welcome to the expanded second edition of Dan Cederholm's best-selling
Web Standards Solutions. Web Standards are the standard technology
specifications enforced by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to make
sure that web designers and browser manufacturers are using the same
technology syntax.It is important that these implementations are the
same throughout the Web, otherwise it becomes a messy proprietary place,
and lacks consistency. These standards also allow content to be more
compatible with multiple different viewing devices, such as screen
readers for people with vision impairments, cell phones, PDFs, etc.
HTML, XML, and CSS are all such technologies.This book is your essential
guide to understanding the advantages you can bring to your web pages by
implementing web standards and precisely how to apply them. Web
standards such as XHTML and CSS are now fairly well-known technologies,
and they will likely be familiar to you, the web designer. Indeed, they
are all around you on the Web. However, within web standards still lies
a challenge: while the browser's support for web standards is steadily
increasing, many web developers and designers have yet to discover the
real benefits of web standards and respect the need to adhere to
them.The real art is in truly understanding the benefits and
implementing the standards efficiently. As a simple example of its
power, you can use CSS to lay out your pages instead of nesting tables.
This can make file sizes smaller, allowing pages to load faster,
ultimately increasing accessibility for all browsers, devices, and web
users.Expanded edition containing bonus material.Teaches how to use Web
Standards effectively to build better web sites.Solutions style promotes
