  • Style Sheets CSS

    Style Sheets CSS

    P1: OSO/OVY P2: OSO/OVY QC: OSO/OVY T1: OSO GTBL013-03 GTBL013-Jackson-v10 July 12, 2006 10:36 CHAPTER 3 Style Sheets CSS As we have learned, HTML markup can be used to indicate both the semantics of a document (e.g., which parts are elements of lists) and its presentation (e.g., which words should be italicized). However, as noted in the previous chapter, it is advisable to use markup predominantly for indicating the semantics of a document and to use a separate mechanism to determine exactly how information contained in the document should be presented. Style sheets provide such a mechanism. This chapter presents basic information about Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), a style sheet technology designed to work with HTML and XML documents. CSS provides a great deal of control over the presentation of a document, but to exercise this control intelligently requires an understanding of a number of features. And, while you as a software developer may not be particularly interested in getting your web page to look “just so,” many web software developers are members of teams that include professional web page designers, some of whom may have precise presentation require- ments. Thus, while I have tried to focus on what I consider key features of CSS, I’ve also included a number of finer points that I believe may be more useful to you in the future than you might expect on first reading. While CSS is used extensively to style HTML documents, it is not the only style- related web technology.

It is common for Help systems to use layering techniques to limit the amount of information presented to the reader. The reader chooses to view the information by clicking on a link. Most layering techniques, including expanding text, dropdown text and popup text, are implemented using Dynamic HTML. Overview The DITA Open Toolkit HTML transformations do not provide for layering effects. However, some changes to the XSL-T files, and the use of outputclassmetadata in the DITA topic content, along with some judicious use of JavaScript and CSS, can deliver these layering effects. Authoring Example In the following example illustrating the technique, a note element is to output as dropdown text, where the note label is used to toggle the display of the note text. The note element is simply marked up with an outputclass distinct attribute value (in this case, hw_expansion). < note outputclass="hw_expansion" type="note">Text of the note</note> Without any modification, the DITA OT will transform the note element to a paragraph element with a CSS class of the outputclass value.

Certainly it is not fully interactive yet, but that is undeniably the trend as manifested in the latest (version 4) Web browsers. "Dynamic HTML," incorporated into the new browsers, joins plug-ins, Web forms, Java applets, and JavaScript as options for Web interactivity. Plug-ins and Applets While Web pages are beginning to behave more like interactive applications, traditional authoring tools are themselves becoming Internet-savvy, primarily through the use of "plug-in" versions of players which integrate with Web browsers. The most commonly used plug-in today is Macromedia's "Shockwave," used to Web-enable such applications as Director, Authorware, and Flash. "Shocked" Web pages can be very interactive and provide a visually appealing means of interacting with users (as in some sample ESL exercises from Jim Duber). Plug-ins are easy to use -- they just need to be downloaded and installed. Some come bundled with Netscape and Microsoft's browsers, which simplifies considerably the installation process (and gives developers the confidence that most users will actually have the plug-in installed).

  • Chapter 10 Document Object Model and Dynamic HTML

    Chapter 10 Document Object Model and Dynamic HTML

    Chapter 10 Document Object Model and Dynamic HTML The term Dynamic HTML, often abbreviated as DHTML, refers to the technique of making Web pages dynamic by client-side scripting to manipulate the document content and presen- tation. Web pages can be made more lively, dynamic, or interactive by DHTML techniques. With DHTML you can prescribe actions triggered by browser events to make the page more lively and responsive. Such actions may alter the content and appearance of any parts of the page. The changes are fast and e±cient because they are made by the browser without having to network with any servers. Typically the client-side scripting is written in Javascript which is being standardized. Chapter 9 already introduced Javascript and basic techniques for making Web pages dynamic. Contrary to what the name may suggest, DHTML is not a markup language or a software tool. It is a technique to make dynamic Web pages via client-side programming. In the past, DHTML relies on browser/vendor speci¯c features to work. Making such pages work for all browsers requires much e®ort, testing, and unnecessarily long programs. Standardization e®orts at W3C and elsewhere are making it possible to write standard- based DHTML that work for all compliant browsers. Standard-based DHTML involves three aspects: 447 448 CHAPTER 10. DOCUMENT OBJECT MODEL AND DYNAMIC HTML Figure 10.1: DOM Compliant Browser Browser Javascript DOM API XHTML Document 1. Javascript|for cross-browser scripting (Chapter 9) 2. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)|for style and presentation control (Chapter 6) 3. Document Object Model (DOM)|for a uniform programming interface to access and manipulate the Web page as a document When these three aspects are combined, you get the ability to program changes in Web pages in reaction to user or browser generated events, and therefore to make HTML pages more dynamic.
