XHTML - Positional CSS for Layout

This course empowers learners to analyze, apply, and design modern web layouts using XHTML and CSS. Beginning with a critical examination of traditional layout techniques such as frames and tables, the course transitions into practical mastery of CSS float-based layouts, including multi-column designs and form alignment. Through progressive modules, learners will construct responsive layouts using fluid and Jello layout techniques, organize content using semantic HTML lists, and develop interactive navigation menus purely with CSS. The final module guides learners to demonstrate control over page composition using absolute, fixed, and relative positioning strategies, while leveraging z-index for layering and visual hierarchy. By the end of the course, learners will be able to implement professional-grade web layouts with precision, semantic structure, and responsive behavior—without relying on outdated techniques or JavaScript
