CSS Lists

CSS Lists:
The CSS list properties allow you to:
·        Set different list item markers for ordered lists
·        Set different list item markers for unordered lists
·        Set an image as the list item marker

List

In HTML, there are two types of lists:
  • unordered lists (<ul>) - the list items are marked with bullets
  • ordered lists (<ol>) - the list items are marked with numbers or letters
With CSS, lists can be styled further, and images can be used as the list item marker.

Different List Item Markers

The type of list item marker is specified with the list-style-type property:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
ul.a {
    list-style-type: circle;
}

ul.b {
    list-style-type: square;
}

ol.c {
    list-style-type: upper-roman;
}

ol.d {
    list-style-type: lower-alpha;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<p>Example of unordered lists:</p>
<ul class="a">
  <li>Coffee</li>
  <li>Tea</li>
  <li>Coca Cola</li>
</ul>

<ul class="b">
  <li>Coffee</li>
  <li>Tea</li>
  <li>Coca Cola</li>
</ul>

<p>Example of ordered lists:</p>
<ol class="c">
  <li>Coffee</li>
  <li>Tea</li>
  <li>Coca Cola</li>
</ol>

<ol class="d">
  <li>Coffee</li>
  <li>Tea</li>
  <li>Coca Cola</li>
</ol>

</body>
</html>

 

 An Image as The  List Item Marker:

To specify an image as the list item marker, use the list-style-image property:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
ul {
    list-style-image: url('sqpurple.gif');
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<ul>
  <li>Coffee</li>
  <li>Tea</li>
  <li>Coca Cola</li>
</ul>

</body>
</html>

List - Shorthand property:

The list-style property is a shorthand property. It is used to set all the list properties in one declaration:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
ul {
    list-style: square inside url("sqpurple.gif");
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<ul>
  <li>Coffee</li>
  <li>Tea</li>
  <li>Coca Cola</li>
</ul>

</body>

</html>

How to handle XML with PHP

What is XML? The  eXtensible Markup Language  is a way to structure your data for sharing across sites. Some of the technologies that are crucial to the web like  RSS  (Real Simple Syndication) and  Podcasts  are special flavors of XML. The beautiful thing about XML is that you can easily roll your own for anything you need. XML is easy to create because it’s a lot like HTML…except you can make up your own tags. Let’s say, for example that you’re putting together a feed for a list of songs playing at your own radio station. We’ll keep this simple, so we’ll just encode the name of the artist, the title of the song, plus the time when the song was played. We make up a couple of tags called  <title>  and  <artist>  and wrap each of them around a  <song>  tag. We’ll create a dateplayed attribute for each song with the date and time the song was played. You might encode something like that in this manner. ...

XSLT QUICK GUIDE

E X tensible  S tylesheet  L anguage  T ransformation commonly known as XSLT is a way to transform the XML document into other formats such as XHTML. XSL Before learning XSLT, we should first understand XSL which stands for E X tensible  S tylesheet  L anguage. It is similar to XML as CSS is to HTML. Need for XSL In case of HTML document, tags are predefined such as table, div, and span; and the browser knows how to add style to them and display those using CSS styles. But in case of XML documents, tags are not predefined. In order to understand and style an XML document, World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) developed XSL which can act as XML based Stylesheet Language. An XSL document specifies how a browser should render an XML document. Following are the main parts of XSL − ·          XSLT  − used to transform XML document into various other types of document. ·       ...

JavaScript Object Oriented

Let's Create an Object 1 2 3 function myObject(){   }; Congratulations, you just created an object. There are two ways to create a JavaScript object: they are 'Constructor functions' and 'Literal notation'. The one above is a Constructor function, I'll explain what the difference is shortly, but before I do, here is what an Object definition looks like using literal notation. 1 2 3 var myObject = {   }; Literal is a preferred option for name spacing so that your JavaScript code doesn't interfere (or vice versa) with other scripts running on the page and also if you are using this object as a single object and not requiring more than one instance of the object, whereas Constructor function type notation is preferred if you need to do some initial work before the object is created or require multiple instances of the object where each instance can be changed during the lifetime of the script. Let's continue...
