| Summary: |
Data can be brought into webpages in many different formats : json, xml and plain text being three common formats. Once loaded the data then needs to be formatted.
The basic principles of laying data out do not vary: you need to identify the relevant piece of information, decide how you want it displayed and then either add the data to the appropriate on screen element or set up a new element, associate it with the data and then add the element to the screen. CSS can then be used to style the data. This can be done either within the stylesheet or by adding CSS styling when the page is generated using javaScript or jQuery.
Identifying the element to be displayed can vary from one data type to another. |
