Background: HTML and CSS Chapters 1-4 of Deitel XML text
Remarks • There is a lot of important and useful discussion on html in the text that is not covered in this ppt. • I have simply picked a few interesting examples. • You may need to work through the rest of these chapters for yourself.
A little background: HTML • Hypertext markup language is processed by the browser (or some html parser) and content is displayed. • The language consists of tags opening and closing instructions, like font settings, anchors, applets, and forms. • The material (data) thus presented is said to be “marked up” using the defined tags. • This course won’t cover much html per se.

A table • Link to table • Table source
The source for form from Dietel’s XML text • In notes below • And at htmlform.html
What’s wrong with html? • Network programmers found html too limiting. It is ok for web page content, but what about presenting material for some specialized application, like molecular structure? • Also, there are inconsistencies and ambiguities in some expression definitions. • Many browsers accept/process HTML, even though it has errors.
Aside: And what is XML? • XML was developed by a consortium of programmers. It is “eXtensible Markup Language”. A developer can use the “element” tag to create his own entities for application-specific needs.
Aside continued: DTD, DOM and Schema • We will learn more about these, but DTD references appear in the CSS examples. • DTD: Document type declarations define an XML document’s structure. A DTD is not required for an XML document but they insure conformity. DTDs use a modified BNF for defining entities, called extended Backus-Nauer Form. An XML or HTML document might reference a DTD at the top. • Schema: There is currently a shift away from DTDs to Schema for defining XML structure. Schema uses XML syntax and both W3C and MS have defined schema standards. • DOM is a tree-structure, recommended by W3C for representing an XML document. (Any directory-style tree would work.)
CSS: cascading style sheet • A CSS can be internally or externally defined. It is a style sheet that tells the browser how to represent the html document.
Internal stylesheet • Source is at Grocerylist.html
links • Grocery is at grocery2.html • Stylesheet is at styles.html
An external style sheet: code part 1 /* An external stylesheet */ a { text-decoration: none; } a:hover { text-decoration: underline; color: red; background-color: #ccffcc; } li em { color: red; font-weight: bold; } ul { margin-left: 2cm; } ul ul { text-decoration: underline; margin-left: .5cm; }
