Web Design and Implementation (Winter 04-05)


Web Standards and CSS Formatting ( 6 December 2004)

Today's discussion will be on web coding standards, which tend to generate almost as many religious battles as operating system choices.

We'll cover the HTML standards development process, existing HTML and XHTML standards, problems with existing standards, and browser support for standards. We'll also discuss the issues surrounding separation of presentation and content, and the importance of CSS in standards-based web development.
