There are many questions regarding what makes HTML dynamic in order to answer that we should know few things in detail, dynamic HTML is not something which can be easily pointed out, this is group of technology, it is not separate technology when all these technology bring together it enables web developer in order to bring web page to life. There are mainly three technologies that make DHTML dynamic, they are HTML, Java script and cascading style sheets. For the basic structure of the document HTML is used and java script is used to manipulate
During the year 2005 two authors Hakon wium Lie and Michael were in disagreement. Another option to fuel their difference is a recent entry in the web culminary blog. Noman Walsh who is a member of W3CS architecture group and also the author of WebArch made a blog pointing out that there was failure on web browsers at printing and that CSS was not capable of fixing the problem.
Was it a threat or a prediction, the question still remains unclear. The controversy behind CSS gives us an opportunity to explain its merits over XSL for most
A true holy war started after introduction of the WWW standard: the XHTML/CSS2 standard. It's really hard to say who won, but both sides are right at the same time.
The XHTML/CSS2 supporters really love when the WWW is open for any types of devices, starting with mobile phones and ending with desktop computers. That is why they think that everyone should use XHTML and CSS2 to create tableless layouts for their sites, so that they would be easily viewed by users with any hardware.
Of course, the CSS2 layouts are more flexible and
Nobody's perfect, but when you're a web developer it sometimes seems that the whole world expects you to be. "DOCTYPE confusion.Completely missing, incorrect, or in the wrong place. I have seen HTML 4.0 Transitional used in documents containing XHTML markup as well as in documents, DOCTYPE declarations appearing after the opening tag, and incomplete DOCTYPES.
Why? Two reasons. First, it’s required, as stated in the W3C HTML 4.01 spec as well as in the W3C XHTML 1.0 spec. Second, modern web browsers use the specified DOCTYPE to decide which
One day, Neil Crosby wanted to shadow some text using CSS. "So, the challenge was simple. Come up with some CSS which will produce drop shadows in as large a percentage of peoples’ web browsers as possible, leaving the browsers which are incapable of showing text shadows with unstyled text. Sounds simple? Well, for the most part, it was…
There are already tutorials out on the web which tell you how to produce text-shadows for various web browsers. The problem is, they all seem to focus on one particular browser, rather than producing a cross
Back in 2005, author's Håkon Wium Lie and Michael Day were on a war path: "A recent entry in the blog of a web luminary may signal the start of a second round of hostilities. Norman Walsh, a member of the W3C's Technical Architecture Group and co-author of the W3C's Web Architecture document (WebArch), recently blogged:
... web browsers suck at printing. ... And CSS is never going to fix it. Did you hear me? CSS is never going to fix it.
It's unclear if this statement is a prediction or a threat. Or just blogging on a bad day. Anyway, the
Not so long ago, font tags (which are evil) provided a web designer’s only means of formatting an HTML document’s text for presentation within web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer™, Opera™ or Mozilla Firefox.
The trouble with font tags was that they were not only notoriously unreliable for presenting any given piece of information in the way initially intended by its author; they also bloated file sizes to almost insupportable proportions. In fact, even the text size setting of a browser could make a page’s content overlap or
This division between structural logic and visual logic is on its way to being reconciled through the use of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). Style sheets provide control over the exact visual style of headers, paragraphs, lists, and other page elements. For example, if you prefer H3 headers to be set in 12-point Arial bold type, you can specify those details in a style sheet. In this way you can retain the logical use of HTML's structural tags without sacrificing graphic design flexibility.
At this writing, however, the major Web browsers offer
There are few things as sweet as a promise kept, and nothing so bitter as one that isn't. In 1996, style sheets promised us incredible opportunities for control over Web document presentation. But that promise has been only partially fulfilled, making our relationship with style sheets bittersweet.
Style sheets are advantageous in that they let you manage, update, and change large sites easily, and elegantly control visual effects. Documents become more streamlined and manageable when designers effectively separate presentation from Web
