PSD to XHTML Conversion More Effective than PSD to HTML

May 9th, 2012

HTML and XHTML are two popular markup languages that are used to create a website. XHTML is an advanced version of HTML. Both these markup languages are used to create dynamic as well as flexible websites. To create a website in any one of these languages, you have to either convert PSD to XHTML or PSD to HTML. These methods are popular for creating attractive, effective, flexible, and quality website with their range of unique and wonderful features. As there are many similarities in both the conversion methods, people use them according to their preferences, however, many web developers go for PSD to XHTML as it offers them more features than HTML.

XHTML comes with integrated tags and user-defined tags in order to help in building a more useful and attractive website.  If you are using XHTML, you can use your own tags with different features like SVG and Math ML, etc. It also supports different formats, which is not possible with HTML language which offers only inbuilt tags.

HTML does not follow strict rules of W3C; this is the reason why many people opt for XHTML that strictly follows the W3C coding rules. Elements used in making websites are properly closed in XHTML, and website created in this language is more reliable than the website created from PSD to HTML. XHTML website is based on semantic markup, which proves very useful in search engine optimization of a web site. It enhances the functionality of a website and takes less time to load. Choose for a conversion, which is compatible with all types of browsers. With XHTML, you can be assured that your website can download and run smoothly on all the browsers.

Importance of Custom Attributes in HTML5

May 2nd, 2012

The addition of custom attributes in HTML5 has brought significant changes in the semantic web development. On the demand of webmaster community, HTML5 is finally provided with a new data attribute that lets developers define custom attribute in an organised way within HTML. Earlier, it was not possible for a web developer, before HTML5, to add his choice of attribute to HTML elements and access them with the help of Java script. Those who were experienced with it know that it is quite hard to remember about getting markup to validate. However, HTML5 facilitate the option to create and use self customised attributes within the valid pages.

In an advanced HTML, a person can define custom attributes using the “data” attribute. The nature of the project and its length will help know whether the custom attributes will be helpful or not as well as how the naming will take place. For instance, in a retail website, where different product categories are needed to mention, custom attributes allow developer to treat every element in particular ways within the JavaScript code for the page at the time of using animated display functions.

Applying custom attributes in HTML5 in a project is not a complex process in itself; nevertheless the difficult thing here is to decide whether it is appropriate to use it or not and if it is to be used then how to use it efficiently. Setting for this alternative at last will be an early approach for functioning pages; therefore a web developer should always be ready to provide an option for non-supporting browsers.

Hyper Text Markup language or HTML is a language for content structure and presentation for the World Wide Web. It is a core technology of the Internet designed by Opera Software initially, and the fifth revision of the HTML standard is still in progress. The main aim of developing HTML5 is to eliminate cross platform dependency and improve the language so that it supports the latest multimedia advancements but is easily readable by humans and understood by the computer devices. The latest advancement is developed in such a way that it supports HTML 4 along with XHTML 1 and DOM Level 2 HTML. HTML5 is a retort to its predecessors and combines both HTML and XHTML with various highlighting features. This leads to an attempt to define a single markup language that can be written in both the syntax and also includes detailed models to support more exchangeable applications.

It improves, widens, and rationalizes the markup available for documents, and initiate markup and application programming interfaces (APIs) for multifaceted web applications. There are various features that are introduced in the application like canvas element for instant mode 2D drawing, timed media playback, offline web application and browser history management, document editing and cross document management, MIME type and protocol handler registration, web storage, micro data and drag and drop applications.

Joomla template in HTML

February 27th, 2012

A file series within the content management system of Joomla that manages the presentation of the content is actually a Joomla Template. Many confuse a template with a complete design of the website but it just initiates the process of a website design in HTML. It is the role of a Joomla template to work in coordination with the contents stored in the database and this process actually completes a website. The contents present inside a Joomla template include design information like images, JavaScript and Style sheet also there can be only one template on a single webpage. Joomla template acts more of a controller that commands the content management system of Joomla to place modules and other components. It also manages the display of Joomla modules on a web page with several variations that differ in their HTML output structure and that include the popular variation of XHTML output.

Normally there is only a need of a single CSS or an HTML layout in an entire website and a Joomla template only acts as a model for every page that is present in a website. The same Joomla template in HTML is used to design all the web pages present in a single website and it is because of the built-in intelligence present in Joomla content management system, every page gets a unique appearance due to the content that it draws from different databases. The main benefit of Joomla template lies in the fact that in it design and content are both separate entities.

Sparks Fly over HTML 5

January 31st, 2012

The World Wide Web Consortium, the standard establishing authority of the web world, and the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group have recently been at loggerheads, over new standards for HTML.

While the former claims that only it has the right to create new standards and proffer recommendations, the latter is of the opinion that they have greater rights in the matter. This contention arose, when developers started realising that W3C is taking way longer to release new versions of HTML, than WHATWG.

While there are those who consider W3C as the authority, there are some who think of the work being done by WHATWG as more revolutionary and innovative. It is also interesting to note that most of the browsers on which the users are active on, are owned by members of WHATWG.

Like anything else in the world, even HTML needs to change with the times and requirements of the users and developers. In order to ensure this, the only way out seems to be a coordination between the two organisations.

However, as of now, IT experts are of the opinion that things might not really affect the end users, because this argument will never really reach them. Product versions will always emerge, no matter what the standards and that is what the end users require. In addition to that, for IT people it is factors like compatibility and integration that matter more than standards.

As of now, we will all just have to wait and watch how this ‘war’ unfolds!

CSS can be used not only for these two major coding languages but can also be applied to many other kind of documents written with languages like XML, plain XML, SVG, XUL and many more.

A Cascading style sheet is capable of improving a website’s design in many ways and by implementing them a website can be easily made attractive and user-friendly.

Making a website presentable is one of the major requirements for surviving in the world of internet. Designers insert boxes, tables and shadows to differentiate document content from document presentation, but CSS allows it in a more fun and creative way. With CSS, a developer can include more colors as well as fonts in the document presentation so that it’s more interactive and interesting to see.
