Programming the Web Using XHTML and JavaScript by Lagerstrom fits in introductory Web-Authoring courses in the community college, university extension or technical schools, or in Web-Scripting courses found in computer science departments. It requires no prior knowledge of HTML or programming. This book was written to offer a straightforward introduction to programming. Programming the Web Using XHTML and JavaScript starts out with an explanation of HTML and then gently guides the student into learning how to create web pages that actually respond to and interact with the web browser through JavaScript. To accomplish the patient ease of learning, Dr. Lagerstrom created various types of end of chapter material, which reinforce what has been learned via lab exercises, de-bugging problems and objective questions. Pedagogical features such as icons are located in the margins to alert students of potential trouble areas and advice.
Question : How do I add login with other accounts with html or wml/xhtml codes on my site?
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 : 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
Question : How do I create an html/xhtml/css header that automatically adjusts to any screen resolution?
I've noticed on the wordpress website and facebook that the headers take up the full width of the screen of any computer or laptop screen i view the websites on and the center of the website stays fixed.What is the easiest way to do this in xhtml/html/css?Is there a website that will guide me through the process?Help is appreciated.
Answer:
Create a div that has a 100% width, give it the id #header and give it a background-color you like. Inside THAT div, create another div with a class called .container. Center the container with 'margin: 0 auto' and give it a width of around 975px so people will be able to see it on 1024 x 768 monitors without side scrolling. Then put your logo and website title inside the container.Note: You can download the Firebug extension for Firefox and see exactly how FB does it if you want
