Course Description:

This course provides an introduction to XHTML (eXtensible HyperText Markup Language), which is a reformulation of HTML 4.0 as an XML 1.0 application. With XHTML, richer and more complex Web pages can be created on an increasing range of browser platforms including cell phones, televisions, cars, wallet-sized wireless communicators, kiosks, and desktops.
