Tables -
Perhaps one of the most common and useful constructs used in Web design.
Since early versions of HTML had few page-layout controls, tables emerged as a
popular way to exert some control over how objects were displayed in the browser
window. Although originally intended as a mechanism for displaying tabular data,
tables are commonly used to achieve other typographical effects, such as
establishing margins or creating multiple columns of text.
Forms -
It looks more professional when you allow your visitors to fill in information
right on your page rather than using a "mailto:" command, but looks are about
it. A form does basically what email does - it sends information. Text boxes
and areas, radio buttons, check boxes, drop-downs, pop-ups; these varied types
of forms then use the reset or submit button to transmit the values.
Frames -
In HTML, frames give designers the ability to display multiple pages of content
in a single screen. This powerful capability is also one of the most controversial
HTML practices and a constant topic of heated discussion among designers. Here's
a quick refresher on how to create HTML frames, including an explanation of the
related tags, some common applications, and some concerns about using them.
Cascading Style
Sheets - CSS is a new web technology that gives web authors enhanced
control over the look of elements in a web page. Things once considered unchangeable,
such as the underline beneath links, the color of form elements, the spacing between
text, and more, can now all be altered, thanks to CSS. As good as this technology
sounds, its use by web authors is actually very limited at this point. The problem
is not CSS, but rather, the browsers used to render it. No browser on the net
currently fully supports CSS (including both IE4 and NN4).
