Abstract / Excerpt:

Algorithm is a process of problem solving that will employ a mechanical sequence of steps. There are many existing algorithms at present which are designed for different purposes. On the other hand, Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) is a text file containing small markup tags that tell the Web browser how to display a Web page. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) specify the styles that define how to display HTML elements. It solves the problem of retyping the HTML codes for the same style to different HTML elements repeatedly. Both are tools used by the web developers in constructing the pages in the Internet. However, at present, the developers themselves are the ones responsible for creating the CSS files that are being used in the HTML documents. This study aims to build a hybrid-parsing algorithm to be adapted into a CSS generating tool. The said algorithm is developed to extract the styles from the HTML documents and to automatically place those in the CSS file. In return, the CSS file produced can be utilized by multiple HTML documents. Thus, making it easier for the web developers to maintain the uniformity of the appearance of the pages as well as separating the content from the design of the Web sites they are constructing.
