> XML Conformance : The Burden of Proof

The notion of "correctness" in authoring documents for the Web is
important. Extensible Markup Language (XML) allows various levels of
flexibility to the author during document production. Tools and
techniques that can lead to XML conformance are discussed. Written by
Pankaj Kamthan

> XML Entities and their Applications

Extensible Markup Language (XML) documents consist of entities that
are content placeholders. Different types of entities serve a number
of different functions, in different contexts, and use different ways
to point to the data that they hold. Syntax and semantics of XML
entities are discussed by Pankaj Kamthan.  Examples of their use in
various scenarios and applications are given.

> Multi-dialogue forms on one page


This article shows how to include a multi-dialogue form all on one
page. The working example presented in this article will show how to
split a form into several parts, but display each part form on the
same page without requesting the next form from the server, and allow
the user to go back and amend any of the previous forms without losing
data already entered. This article will also introduce techniques for
coping with the W3C Document Object Model (DOM) which is supported by
both Internet Explorer and the upcoming release of Netscape
Navigator. Written by Martin Webb.

> XMLization of Graphics

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is an important step towards creating a
standard platform for graphics on the World-Wide Web (Web). Pankaj
Kamthan discusses the motivation for SVG, along with its advantages,
applications in various contexts, and issues concerning its
deployment.

> The State of MathML : Mathematically Speaking (and Stuttering)

Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) is an Extensible Markup Language
(XML) vocabulary for describing mathematical notation, capturing both
its structure and content. The current state of MathML in lieu of
other technologies is discussed by Pankaj Kamthan. A variety of
examples are presented.

> Turning Tables Into Selection Lists

This article, by Abby Beifeld, demonstrates how to get around the
limitations of HTML selection lists by using HTML tables in their
place. The article shows how to highlight table rows as they are
selected and display the results for the selected item on the same
page. The example provided will work in MSIE 4+ and Netscape 4.x
browsers.

> Choosing the Right Format For Your Web Images


Have you ever wondered about the different types of images used on
websites? Or more importantly, what kind of web images to use for your
own website? In this tutorial written by Ian Gan, we'll try and give
you a clear picture of commonly used web formats and how you can apply
them to your own website.
