Chapter 4
In Chapters 2 and 3 we focused on program specific menus. Now it is
time to start creating web pages. Web pages are all about structure and
should be about web standards as well.
This chapter discusses semantic HTML also known as structured HTML.
By using the correct mark-up on your web pages you will help your
visitor, not just the average computer user but those who use assistive
devices or have other impairments. This includes search engine crawlers
and bots such as Googlebot which is sometimes referred to as the
"biggest blind user on the web".
Most people who are creating websites want them to do well in search
engines. Using semantic, structured HTML can help to accomplish that
goal.
Exercises
Files are the raw code used in the exercises while Examples are the
completed file. (Note some browser may display the text files as if they
were html. If that happens to you, use "view source" in your browser to
copy the text or in Internet Explorer right click and use "save target
as".)
