Bringing CSS and XHTML Together

**nirdesh** · 05-18-2012, 08:17 AM

I've mentioned that HTML and XHTML documents have an inherent structure, and that's a point worth repeating. In fact, that's part of the problem with web pages of old: too many of us forgot that documents are supposed to have an internal structure, which is altogether different than a visual structure. In our rush to create the coolest-looking pages on the Web, we bent, warped, and generally ignored the idea that pages should contain information with some structural meaning.

That structure is an inherent part of the relationship between XHTML and CSS; without the structure, there couldn't be a relationship at all. To understand it better, let's look at an example XHTML document and break it down by pieces:

<html>
<head>
<title>Eric's World of Waffles</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="sheet1.css" media="all" />
<style type="text/css">
@import url(sheet2.css);
h1 {color: maroon;}
body {background: yellow;}
/* These are my styles! Yay! */
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Waffles!</h1>
<p style="color: gray;">The most wonderful of all breakfast foods is
the wafflea ridged and cratered slab of home-cooked, fluffy goodness
that makes every child's heart soar with joy. And they're so easy to make!
Just a simple waffle-maker and some batter, and you're ready for a morning
of aromatic ecstasy!
</p>
</body>
</html>

I just understand about HTML. You brought good point about joining few language and program together. I aware that in one website, we have to use few programming language in one page like HTML, flash, java, etc. Do all these language can be combine together easily using web builder? Or do we have to write them separately then only we copy paste in one page in web builder? Is there any limitation on certain language? I'm beginner in programming language, just finished couple topics in HTML and python. Thanks.
