This week, I would like you to do some research on XHTML and CSS (cascading style sheets).
You can find information on this on line and you can also find information at my CIS44 site. When you write the XHTML, you should take the top four lines in the source from this page and use it as the first four lines in your XHTML. Notice that the HTML tag is included in the first four lines so you simply start with the head tag. Code with first 4 lines of XHTML View the source and use the first four lines at the top of your XHTML for good validation. Remember, the fourth line includes html.
