CIS 51 Webpage Design Using XHTML and CSS 3 units
Transfer: CSU
Course Description: XHTML is the next generation of HTML, a
rewrite of HTML which
adheres to XML standards. This
hands-on course will explore the differences between HTML
and XHTML, validating pages to current Web standards and using Cascading Style
Sheets
(CSS) exclusively to control the look and feel of a site.
Students will create and enhance Web pages with links, graphics, tables,
frames, and forms.
Proper use of XHTML and CSS can provide true separation of content, structure,
and presentation
in Web pages, making them structurally sound, easier to maintain, and more
accessible to everyone.
