Everybody knows that HTML is very useful language for a site development and i have a knowledge about HTML language but i don't have no knowledge about XHTML. So what is the different between HTML and XHTML? If you know than please reply me.

I read somewhere that HTML 4.00/1 has been "replaced" by XHTML (which I assume is XHTML 1.0). Is this true? Should we be switching to XHTML 1.0 ?

I am a relative novice, so I'd appreciate help please - I have searched the web and other forums, but most answers are too complicated for me.

When I started coding a year ago, I used a template file and just worked things out as I went. It happened to have a XHTML 1.1 DTD, but since I didn't even know what a DTD was, I didn't care. It is only recently that I discovered that (1) when I tried to validate I had numerous errors, and (2) virtually non-one uses XHTML 1.1.

So now I am considering what Doctype I should use. There seem to be two opinions "out there".

I checked out the source code for about 20-30 popular sites and found XHTML 1.0 was used more than twice as often as HTML 4. Many people say XHTML is the way of the future, and requires tighter code, so why not use it? The free WYSIWYG editor I use (NVU) codes in XHTML as default.

However others say that some browsers don't handle XHTML well, and unless you need the extra features (and if you don't know what they are then you don't need them - my situation), then HTML 4 is still best - this seems to be the view taken in the excellent "Doctype and validation" topic on this forum. Some people go on to suggest taking a strict line on some of the optional coding rules (e.g. closing all tags) is a good practice, helps prepare you for XHTML, but is still good in HTML.

So, what is the common opinion here - HTML4 for "dummies" like me? Thanks.

Hi Guys,

I have been creating sites for about a year and a half and was wondering what is the best doc type to use and reasons why?

Which is best HTML or XHTML and also version numbers?

Most sites i have done i have used XHTML 1.0 Transitional.

Any feedback or comments on this is not important but thought i'd ask as i've never really thought about it before.

This tutorial from http://library-cafe.com

If someone just says that this is the high time when you should convert your site from HTML to XHTML - you can halt or not. But if he can say this with proper logic then you must be going through his decision - adaptibility is another thing. So at first you must know basically what XHTML is. XHTML is really more similar to HTML than it is different. The "changes" aren't really changes, but just a set of stricter standards to obey. XHTML stands for Extensible HyperText Markup Language. XHTML is a cross between HTML and XML. Any XHTML document will be valid HTML and valid XML, which means it can be opened in any XML editor.

Why the need for XHTML?

* XML allows the developer to add new tags whenever they want, allowing for more flexibility and creativity.
* XHTML can be mixed with XML to provide easy updatable websites.
* New ways of accessing the Internet are being created every day. XML/XHTML is a common standard for all these browsers/clients, which stops different standards being created for each of these methods.
* XHTML is going to replace HTML in the near future so it will be useful if you already use it, as you will have one over on everyone who has stuck to using HTML.

New Doctype Declaration

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/">

And the tag becomes:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

Just Some Rules

1. In the <head> tag the <title>Title here</title> tag must be first, nothing else

2. All tags must be lowercase, so no <TITLE> it must be <title>.

3. Any tag that doesn't have an ending tag, like <br>, must have a space and forward slash before the end like this: <br />.

4. All tag attributes must be surrounded by quotes, so replace <p align=center> with <p align="center">.

5. No attribute can have no value, so, for example, when using the <input> tag with checked at the end, you must change it to checked="checked".

6. All XHTML documents have to be well formed, so each file must have a html, head, title and body set of tags.

7. All documents must have a doctype, see above to find out the best one to use when you are new to XHTML.

Hey,

So its another on of them questions

So i want to know what would be best for me? ive never built a website and i havent learnt HMTL or XHTML or the many languages that there are.

i know its going to be a long process and i am happy to learn it as i want my company to have a really good site.

Thats the thing i run a production company and when someone checks out my site i want them to see how professional it is and also that they want my company to work for them!!!

So what would be better to start off with? HTML or XHTML? ive read a little about both and have a little understanding.

so as a novice would i need to learn HTML before i could even start to use XHTML?

i read this thread and the last post says use whatever? so the question that i have is which one would be better for me and better for my site? considering i dont know any languages!
