XHTML and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) technology gives you more control of page layout and the ability to control the design of multiple pages on your site from a single file. Additionally, CSS allows you to develop more sophisticated layouts, font schemes, and even interactivity for your pages than was possible using just HTML.

By the end of the class students will be able to:

• Transition from writing HTML to XHTML, the current standard for Web pages and the preferred markup for use with CSS
• Understand how to build complex, but lightweight page layouts that could never be created with just HTML alone
• Precisely format and position text with the level of control previously found only in desktop publishing software
• Apply design decisions made for one page to a group of pages, ensuring a consistent look and feel and shortening the time it takes to develop and maintain the site
• Choose the right doctype and validate XHTML and CSS code
• Create XHTML or HTML markup that separates content from presentation, through the use of headings, paragraphs, and lists
• Use div and span tags for layout instead of table-based layouts

• Prerequisites:
  This is a fast-paced class for people who have spent many years working with HTML. We recommend a minimum of 5 years experience writing HTML.
