Authoring Subtopics:

HTML Basics
HTML is the lingua franca of the Net. It's a simple, universal markup language that allows Web publishers to create pages of text and images that can be viewed by anyone on the Web, regardless of what kind of computer or browser they're using. If you want to build Web pages, you should start here.

Tables
Tables — they're not just for spreadsheets anymore! HTML tables can add precision and complexity to your page layout. Discover the magic of these useful tags here.

Frames
Using frames, you can divide your page into sections. Not everyone loves the way frames look, but they are a popular design choice.

Browsers
The differences between Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Netscape's Navigator have bedeviled Web developers for years. Don't worry, Webmonkey will show you the path through the incompatibility mine field. While you're at it, take a look at Opera, Icab, and the other alternatives to the big two.

Tools
You've heard the names: Dreamweaver, FrontPage, GoLive, HomeSite. But which software packages should you use for your site? You can also find the best tools for uploading and downloading your files.

Stylesheets
Control the look of your page and reduce download time with this next-generation layout language. Soon all the cool kids will be using Stylesheets, and you don't want to be left out. Do you?

Dynamic HTML (DHTML)
What happens when you combine the flexibility of Stylesheets with the power of JavaScript? Some pretty cool stuff, actually. If you want your page to come alive with whiz-bang effects, dHTML may be the way to go.

XML
Everyone seems to be talking about this new language — but why? The generic markup it offers is flexible, powerful, and much easier to deal with than HTML.
