How this Book Is Organized

How to Do Everything with HTML & XHTML is organized into three parts. Each part focuses on a different aspect of XHTML and Web design. Part I, Chapters 1–7, takes you through the basics of HTML and XHTML and how to build a Web site. These chapters show you everything you need to know to get a site up and running. Part II, Chapters 8–10, focuses on style, how to structure your pages, and how to make them look good. Beginning with tables and then moving to frames and Cascading Style Sheets, you’ll learn how to craft your site and make it distinctively yours. Part III, Chapters 11–16, shows you how to add bells and whistles to your pages. With audio and video, animations, forms, JavaScript, and even such advanced topics as XML, you can learn how to make your pages fly. The online appendixes provide reference guides designed to help you put some of the things you learn into practice—without having to reread the text.

One final recommendation for working through this book and developing your own Web site: Have a great time!
