After years of anticipation and delay, the W3C finally released the XSLT 2.0 standard in January 2007. The revised edition of this classic book offers practical, real-world examples that demonstrate how you can apply XSLT stylesheets to XML data using either the new specification, or the older XSLT 1.0 standard.
XSLT is a critical language for converting XML documents into other formats, such as HTML code or a PDF file. With XSLT, you get a thorough understanding of XSLT and XPath and their relationship to other web standards, along with recommendations for a honed toolkit in an open platform-neutral, standards-based environment. This book:
Covers the XSLT basics, including simple stylesheets and methods for setting up transformation engines
Walks you through the many parts of XSLT, particularly XSLT's template-based approach to transformations
Applies both XSLT 1.0 and 2.0 solutions to the same problems, helping you decide which version of XSLT is more appropriate for your project
Includes profuse examples that complement both the tutorial and the reference material
The new edition of XSLT has been updated thoroughly to explain XSLT 2.0's many dependencies, notably XML Schema and XPath 2.0. Want to find out how the 2.0 specification improves on the old? This book will explain.
Whether you're just starting out in web development or you'd like to update your existing skills, this book gets you off to a fast start! In fact, in just the first 6 chapters, you'll learn more about web development than you can from most full books. By the end of this crash course, you'll be developing web pages the professional way, with HTML or XHTML for the content and CSS for the formatting and page layout. That includes sophisticated page layouts that require the use of the box model, floating, and positioning.

Those skills include how to develop forms that are submitted to web servers, how to add audio or video to a page, how to use a style sheet for printing, how to develop pages for mobile devices...everything you need for modern web pages. You'll also learn how to take your web pages to the next level by using tested JavaScript code for effects like image rollovers and slide shows.
In the last section, now that you know how to develop web pages, you'll learn how to design an entire web site using today's best practices. You'll also learn how to deploy your web site, and how to get it into the major search engines and directories. When you're done, you'll have all the perspective and skills you need to develop professional web pages.

Question : What is the difference between PHP and XHTML code?
im kinda new to this but, what benefits does PHP over xhtml and vice versa. I am trying to create a website where people can login but I don't now what type of code is best for me.Any Suggestions?
Answer:
Im going to try to explain this best I can, sorry ahead of time if im not clear enough.xhtml is used to create invisible (or visible) boxes that you can (or cannot) physically see. You then use CSS (a style sheet) to edit those boxes to be the size, color, and position that you want. These two are used to make the part of the website that you see. (those xhtml boxes are
's ... xhtml can be used for more but this is just a general overview)PHP is a server-side language that the client (whoever is visiting your site) will never see. It gets executed on the server before its sent to him.You use php to make web pages dynamic, like your login stuff and this yahoo answers stuff we're typing in. We type it in, it sends the information to the server where the server-side language (php) in your case plays with it and saves it in databases (php is normally used with mysql). PHP is for all the behind the scenes stuff while xhtml and css are used to make the look and feel of the page.Hope this helpshttp://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp learn csshttp://www.w3schools.com/xhtml/default.asp learn xhtmlhttp://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp learn php
Question : How can you tell if your coding XHTML or HTML?
I mean I do know there are differences such as -XHTML elements must be properly nested XHTML elements must always be closed XHTML elements must be in lowercase XHTML documents must have one root element but is this really it? Please serious answers only. I only recently started coding myself so would appreciate your help. Thanks.
Answer:
I know if I'm coding in XHTML when I start my document with an XHTML doctype, such as:[space added before DTD to overcome Yahoo! Answers deficiencies]To tell if a document you are looking at (that does not have a doctype) is HTML or XHTML look for tags for which closing tags are forbidden, such as , , , , in HTML, or required to be self-closing such as , , , , in XHTML. If the tags end /> then you are looking at XHTML, if they end > you are looking at HTML. However a word of warning, some times people who don't know better copy code that is written in XHTML and paste it into what is otherwise an HTML page.Apart from that (and the differences you noted), there is very little difference between HTML and XHTML.For more on doctypes see: http://www.html-tags-guide.com/html-doctype-tag.html

I want html wml/xhtml any codes for example login with yahoo, login with facebook, login with twitter, login with google.etc and visitors can login easily on my site with other accounts, so please give me code or advise me to get it from anywhere.
Answer:
It's not as easy as just adding some (x)html codes, you need a server side script too. There are script libraries available to help you with it, but you'd still need to do some programming.Here, to get you started:http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/docs/OpenID.htmlhttps://developers.facebook.com/docs/gu ides/web/#loginhttp://developer.yahoo.com/auth/https://dev.twitter.com/docs/auth/sign-twitter

Question : How do I post a website using a domain I purchased using XHTML?
I recently bought a few domains on Godaddy.com, and I am interested in putting them on the internet. I already have the XHTML text that I want to use, but I don't want to spend the outrageous money for each site to use GoDaddy's site builder, since I already made what I need. How can I use my text to make my website without spending lots of money on their sitebuilder? (It has to be purchased for each individual site). Thanks!
Answer:
First, you need to purchase a hosting account. Assuming that you did that ....When you bought the domains you, you got access to an account manager. If you go to Godaddy.com and login, there is a My Accounts link in the upper left. Click it and you should see a list of your purchased products. You want to go down to the Web Hosting link. To the right of the hosting account should be a Launch link...explorer the tabs there and you should find a File Manager that you can use to upload files to your site.
