<p>The <em>css_xhtml theme</em> provides all the basics that the <a href="simple-theme">simple theme</a> provides and adds several features.</p>

<li>Standard two-column CSS-based layout, using <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">&lt;div&gt;</code> for the HTML <a href="struts-tags">Struts Tags</a> (<a href="form-tag.htmk">form</a>,

<h2 id="wrapping-the-simple-theme">Wrapping the Simple Theme</h2>
<p>The xhtml theme uses the “wrapping” technique described by <a href="extending-themes">Extending Themes</a>. Let’s look at how
the HTML tags are wrapped by a standard header and footer. For example, in the <a href="textfield-tag">textfield</a> template,
<code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">text.ftl</code>, the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">controlheader.ftl</code> and <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">controlfooter.ftl</code> templates are wrapped around the simple template.</p>

<h2 id="css-xhtml-theme-header">CSS XHTML theme header</h2>
<p>The header used by the HTML tags in the css_xhtml theme is complicated. Unlike the <a href="xhtml-theme">xhtml theme</a>,
the CSS theme does not use a <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">labelposition</code> attribute. Instead, the label position is defined by CSS rules.</p>
