Cutting Edge HTML
For experienced HTML writers only.
It's somewhat funny, but this is the proccess by which new HTML standards are introduced:
1. The World Wide Web Consortium gets an idea for a great new tag or set of tags.
2. Microsoft adds support for the new tag in a beta version of Internet Explorer.
3. Netscape sees that the new tag is becoming popular, and decides to support it in the next version of Navigator.
This is dead accurate. For example, level 1 cascading style sheets (CSS1), were first thought of by the W3C. Then, Internet Explorer 3.0b added support for them. Now, finally, Navigator 4.0 introduced CSS1 support for Netscape.
Here are some examples of cool new things that have been introduced recently (thanks for the tutorials MacAddict!):
| Name | | What the heck is it? |
| Cascading style sheets | |
A way to manipulate text with pixel precision. |
| Inline Frames | |
A cool new type of frame, which I will teach you how to use |
Currently, I only have a tutorial for inline frames.
Inline frames are a great new type of object that are coded like an IMG tag, but behave like a frame. Here's the concept in a nutshell:
Inline frames are Image tags that can have names, and be targeted by links.
Inline frames were introduced with Internet Explorer 4.0b1, and, if things happen like they usually do, will be supported by Netscape 5.0.
New!!! New!!! I have written a great tutorial that teaches you to use cascading style sheets. Cascading Style Sheets require MIE 3.0 or Netscape 4.0.
