Page 1 through 3 explained the basics of HTML using the XHTML1.0 Transitional DocType. Page 4 will focus on CSS specific XHTML elements. First we’ll talk about the <link> element, the <style> element, and the style attribute. Next we’ll talk about the <div> and <span> elements, used to group sections of the page for use with CSS. Finally we’ll explain the classes and IDs used in a CSS sheet, and discuss the order in which CSS is applied.

Where Page 1 explained the very basics, Page 2 explained the most common elements. In Page 3 of this series, we’ll explore the  attributes of the common elements - those listed in Page 2. At the end of this page, you should be able to make a barebone website: it might not be the prettiest, but it’ll be fully functional.

I picked all the attributes that related to the elements shown in Page 2, then removed all those that are deprecated. There are more, useful attributes that pertain to CSS, and those will be shown in the next page(s). Now, without further ado, let us begin.

In page 2 of this series, I’ll start using XHTML 1.0 rather than HTML 4.01. The differences are small, but here’s why I prefer XHTML over HTML:

• XHTML elements must be properly nested
• XHTML elements must always be closed
• XHTML elements must be lowercase
• XHTML documents must have one root element

The first thing you have to do is ask yourself if this really is what you want to do. It doesn’t necessarily mean that you will actually build your own website. Perhaps you just want to gain some functioning knowledge to edit that webpage someone else made for you, or to edit some template for a CMS (Content Management System). Perhaps you do wish to build your own website from scratch, know the ins and outs of it and be confident that it’s exactly the way you want - and if not, know that you have the knowledge to change it into something you do want. This series will get you started in HTML (HyperText Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), which is all you’ll need to build a static website.
