Book Examples

Throughout the book we included several examples of functioning HTML markup. While you could copy the code character for character from the book, we knew there had to be an easier — and hence better — way to help you learn from our examples. To that end, we extracted all of the functional examples from the book that are longer than 5 lines and and put them into easily acessible HTML files for you to work from. We also built a few templates to get you started writing your own Web pages.

We’ve created hyper-linked listings of the examples included in each chapter of the book to provide you with easy access to the example files. The listings are broken down by chapter. To access the examples from a particular chapter click on its name below and the listing of the examples from that chapter will be loaded in to your Web browser. To see how a Web browser renders a particular example simply click on its link. To return to the chapter table of contents from a code text file press your Web browser’s “Back” button.

Note: Web browsers will always display the results of HTML code rather than the code itself. If you want to see and possibly modify the HTML code behind any of our examples we have updated these pages to include samples of the code.

If a chapter is listed but not hyperlinked that means we didn’t include any examples in it. We didn’t want you to think we accidentally skipped a chapters, so we listed all of them.
