This manuscript is an abridged version of a chapter from the Wrox Press book Beginning XHTML. This chapter looks at different media types and why they are necessary. Main subjects include the role of Cascading Style Sheets in supporting media types, the differences between media types and how to handle them and the future of style sheets in XML.

This book is for anyone wanting to mark up web pages and use scripting to enhance the quality of their pages. It will be useful for those who wish to enter the world of web development with an advantage over existing developers, for those who are already developing pages and wish to stay current with the latest technological changes, and for those who want to access new markets and reduce their workload. For further details about the book, and other books in our range, visit the Wrox Press Web Site.
