html & xhtml

HTML, or Hypertext Markup Language, is used to define the structure of a web page. Every page on the web uses HTML (or its close cousin, XHTML) to tell the browser what the page contains and how it should be laid out. See building your first web page, p. 196 and understanding xhtml, p. 158.

HTML features include the following:

• Tables allow the page to be creatively subdivided. See understanding tables, p. 160.

• Frames allow the web page to be divided into multiple, independent, scrollable sections. See understanding frames, p. 161.
