Professional Web Design (2nd Edition)
by Eric Hunley Erik Simmons Clint EccherThe current state of Web design is in a transitory phase. The latest push is for the use of "standards" set out by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These standards were created so that different browsers will display Web pages in the same, or at least very similar manner. One of the most important elements to these standards has been the increased popularity and usage of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). Cascading Style Sheets were created as a means to separate markup from presentation, which results in cleaner code. Because of the immense importance of CSS, the coverage in this book has been increased with a complete chapter dedicated to them. Ultimately, Web design is headed to using pure CSS for all presentation and layout of Web pages. However, at this point, the use of CSS is not quite ready to take over completely. Browsers do not have sufficient support, and the language is still growing. The only way that designers can be certain that a page looks as close as possible to what is intended is through the use of tables. That is the main focus of this edition. The first edition introduced the idea of mortising and the use of nested tables for layout. This edition continues with that, but adds more information about CSS, client-side scripting with JavaScript, and server-side scripting with PHP as sites are growing with the amount of content they are serving. This edition can be seen as a bridge to the future. It explores the traditional methods of table-based design, but introduces more CSS, which will ultimately take over.
