As technology advances, the same advancement poses an interesting and disappointing challenges to web designers. The very common problem here is web browsers. Since web browsers upgrade now and again, what used to be a well-designed web site turns into a horror. Having experienced it myself, I know how frustrating and time-consuming it can be to fix websites. I also work in the information technology industry in which website issues occur everyday and the many customers who call in-yelling and all-can be nerve-wracking.
Web development is all about Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Cascading Style Sheets (CSS, and Dynamic Hypertext Markup Language (DHTML). I am no Thomas Edison on the subject of Information Technology, but I sure do know basic troubleshooting for a flawed web design-flawed in the sense of functionality, not aesthetics. Anyone can design a very artistic graphic layout for the web page but if it does not work right, it almost useless.
Since web pages are written in codes called HTML, and these HTML codes are written by humans-typed in the keyboard-is what I mean, it is only a very normal occurrence that errors exist in web development.
o Date binding o Dynamic fonts o Changing the tags and properties o Real-time positioning Today CSS/ Cascading Style Sheet is a very powerful weapon for a web designer as well as the developer. After the invention of CSS in the year of 1997, it became a necessary part of web site designing. There are the tree parts including in CSS, the first one called styles which defines how to display. The next part is the placement or storing of style sheets. And the third part is cascading the multiple style definitions into one. The foremost advantage of CSS is browser compatibility.
So in short, you have to validate your HTML or CSS. Problems will normally occur if you use DHTML. These are codes that show action or movement on your web page. This can be a mouse over function, moving words, etcetera. Many web browsers fail to read DHTML as these may not be compliant with current standards. A good thing you can use is a CSS or HTML validator. This is something you can use to help you edit your HTML. Just like in Microsoft Word, there is a functionality for spelling check and grammar. HTML functions almost the same. What you simply have to do is type the uniform Resource Code (URL) of your website and the validator will show which areas or HTML codes you need to improve on.
Check the whole site. If everything's running smoothly, you can now add DHTML! Some sites that offer free DHTML codes (just make sure you don't remove the credits on the source code!) are DynamicDrive.com and DHTMLgoodies.com. Usually there are instructions there on how to add the script to your site; follow these carefully, or you might mess your page up.
Everyone knows that it is virtually impossible for web development specialists to design a website with HTML that will look exactly the same in all browsers. In one of the articles that I have read, it was advised that you should start designing your HTML in Mozilla Firefox because it is compliant with international standards. After which, you may start tinkering with other browsers like Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator.
