In our last workshop, we covered the basics of HTML. We talked about how HTML is a markup language, rather than a programming language, with roots going back more than a quarter-century in print publishing. We talked about some of the more common HTML tags. This time, we are going to extend that knowledge and talk about presenting data in ordered rows and columns using Tables. Then we will discuss Forms, and how we can get information from our users. Finally we will close out the time discussing XHTML, and the differences between it and the HTML we have been using.
Launch Dreamweaver CS4 now, if it is not already open, and create a new blank page, using Blank Page from the options at left, selecting HTML as the Page Type in the center, and <none> as the Layout, then clicking on the Create button.
This builds the bare framework of a Web page for you. Please edit your page <title> now, and add some blank lines into the <body> of your page.
