  • 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.

  • DOCTYPE Sniffing
    06_576429 ch02.qxd 11/18/04 12:28 PM Page 17 2 Document Standards This chapter explores the various options for a document foundation. CSS is a dynamic tool, in that you can use it in more than one type of document, including HTML, XHTML, and XML docu- ments. Each type of document may have several variations, flavors, or degrees of strictness. This chapter describes what’s involved in creating each type. Document standards are something very important to the aspiring CSS web designer. Inclusion of a Document Type Declaration (explained in a moment) and a well-formed document may mean the difference between a splitting, grueling headache and a mark-up document including CSS that works as expected in all the major browsers. Chapter 1 discussed the W3C body, the group assem- bled to decide on web standards. This chapter examines the various documents into which you can incorporate CSS, describing what each document looks like and giving you a few very basic examples of each document in action. The explanation of each topic in the following list is quite lengthy and can easily fill an entire book. This chapter covers only the basics, including ❑ Writing mark-up ❑ Obtaining the required web browsers ❑ Introduction to HTML, XML, and XHTML ❑ Introduction to the Document Type Declaration ❑ DOCTYPECOPYRIGHTED sniffing and how to invoke standards MATERIAL mode ❑ Creating web documents that survive and perpetuate into the foreseeable future Choosing Which Markup Language to Use HTML, XHTML, and XML are all based on SGML, which stands for Standard Generalized Markup Language. SGML is the parent of tag-based languages like HTML, XHTML, and XML, although it is not limited to these three examples.

  • Abstracts Ing XML Information
    394 TUGboat, Volume 20 (1999), No. 4 new precise meanings assigned old familar words.Such pairings are indispensable to those who must work in both languages — or those who must translate from one into the other! The specification covers 90 pages, the introduction another 124.And this double issue has still more: a comparison between SGML and XML, an introduction to Document Object Models (interfaces for XML doc- uments), generating MathML in Omega, a program to generate MathML-encoded mathematics, and finally, the issue closes with a translation of the XML FAQ (v.1.5, June 1999), maintained by Peter Flynn. In all, over 300 pages devoted to XML. Michel Goossens, XML et XSL : unnouveau d´epart pour le web [XML and XSL:Anewventure for the Web]; pp. 3–126 Late in1996, the W3C andseveral major soft- ware vendors decided to define a markup language specifically optimized for the Web: XML (eXtensible Markup Language) was born. It is a simple dialect of SGML, which does not use many of SGML’s seldom- used and complex functions, and does away with most limitations of HTML. After anintroduction to the XML standard, we describe XSL (eXtensible Stylesheet Language) for presenting and transform- Abstracts ing XML information. Finally we say a few words about other recent developments in the XML arena.

HTML elements are the basic building-blocks of webpages. HTML5 & CSS3 Introduction HTML is written in the form of HTML elements consisting of tags, enclosed in angle brackets (like <html>), within the web page content. HTML tags most commonly come in pairs like <h1> and </h1>, although some tags, known as empty elements, are unpaired, for example <img>. The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end tag (they are also called opening tags and closing tags). In between these tags web designers can add text, tags, comments and other types of text-based content. 3 HTML5 & CSS3 Introduction • HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language • HTML is not a programming language, it is a markup language • A markup language is a set of markup tags • HTML uses markup tags to describe web pages HTML5 & CSS3 Introduction • Standard defined by the W3C: – HTML 4.01 – HTML 5 (en desarrollo) – XHTML 1.0 – XHTML 1.1 – XHTML 2 (cancelled) (December 2011) 4 HTML5 & CSS3 HTML5 & CSS3 5 HTML5 & CSS3 Introduction • HTML 1 HTML 4.01: – Based on Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) • XHTML 1: – Based on eXtensible Markup Language (XML) HTML5 & CSS3 Introduction • Old HTML (until 4.01): – Defines the visual presentation
