Minor Project 6

  • Comment on what David Siegal did in 1997.

  • David Siegal invented HTML as a method to visually lay out websites. Distributing content through tables was restrictive in that designers became contingent on visual layout of the page. It was a solid advancement in the way sites were produced, but as time goes on designers have found other methods that don't impede the presentation of the site as much.
  • What's wrong with <>
    elements?

  • <>elements were meant to replace the cells within a page, but they increase the size of the file, and errors within the page are much more likely.

  • What is the "naked structure"?

  • The naked structure is displayed when the cascading style sheets are removed from a web page. Viewing a page while it is "naked" will give you all the content of the page without any of the visual content impacting it. This is a good reminder for designers to place page content above visual layout.

  • What significance of lists?

  • Lists are useful because they are a convenient way for designers to arrange the content on a page that is logical and understood by everyone.
