Cmatcmextra, yes, that is the difference between XHTML and HTML. Especially in ending of tags.

Thank you guys. I am sort of a newbie at HTML and that helped me a lot. do you know any other sites for HTML ?

There are a lot of sites for html. I suggest you search at google or something to see what you can find. Here are some of the sites where I learned how to do html:

webmonkey.com
w3schools.com
w3.org
htmlprimer.com
echoecho.com
pageresource.com
2kweb.net

If you want to learn html real good you could of course also consider buying a book, if you think that sounds easier.

CODE

If people are gonna be using the code he wrote (and thus using the langauge he wrote it in) it should be like this instead:

CODE

If you're going to correct people, make sure the corrections you make are actually right.

Rvovk has a / at the end of his meta http-equiv tag cos he's coding for an XHTML doctype, not an HTML one.
Same goes for the example I posted:

QUOTE(cmatcmextra @ Aug 3 2005, 05:18 PM)

Same for the doctype declaration, which should be before the <html> tag not the <head> one:

CODE

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional //EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

The <html> tag is in the XHTML doctype declaration (bottom line):

CODE

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

So to clear things out. Correct empty HTML 4.01 document consists of this code:

CODE

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

<html>

<head>

<title>Your title</title>
<meta name="title" content="Your title" >
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=windows-1250">

</head>

<body>
</body>
</html>

Correct empty XHTML 1.0 Transitional documentconsist of this code:

CODE

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

<html>

<head>

<title>Your title</title>
<meta name="title" content="Your title" />
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=windows-1250"/>

</head>

<body>
</body>
</html>

I think this should validate with no problem, there can be also keywords, favicons and other meta tags added.

Yes I know that but this tutorial is called Basic Html so I pointed out that there should be no forward slash before the closing bracket. He also said that that xhtml tag should go after the <head> tag in an html document.

I wrote the html 4.01 doctype declaration pointing out that this one should go before the html tag and unlike xhtml, not the head tag and also implied that no attributes were necessary inside the <html> tag.

Okay? Also, just incase people are still unclear about the structure of either html or xhtml documents, rvovk's set it out for us in the previous post

Nice tutorial it is even easy enough for me to understand, but I am still way too lazy to write my own HTML I use a web authoring program called NVU so I do not have to spend all that time to get the same result

No, no-one has said that in this thread. Fair enough you were trying to bring the thread back around to HTML, but you should've explained why you were making the corrections as the only people who would find this tutorial useful are the ones who know absolutely nothing about X/HTML and therefore would be likely to end up using a combination of both if they didn't understand properly what the differences were. Then again, rvovk and I should've explained what we were doing better too. Could've saved us all a bit of typing (although it doesn't hurt the credit count

A great tutorial. Now you just need to make: Basics on php =D. Anywho, tutorials like these helped me out allot when i was a beginner at html.
Also, you forgot the part about the Meta Tags:

QUOTE

<META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="Keywords about your site go here"> --Just as it says

<META NAME="author" CONTENT="You Name"> -- Use this to give credict to the author of the site

<META NAME="robots" CONTENT="SETTING">

* NONE --tells the search engine to ignore the website completly
* ALL -- tells the search engine that they are welcomed to search all pages
* NOFOLLOW -- tells the search engine to index the page, but any other links on the page are not explored
* NOINDEX -- tells the search engine to explore links on the page, but no index the page

<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="0; url=homepage.html"> -- Redirects the page to the page set in 0 seconds

<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="0"> -- Refreshes the page repeatedly

that some day.) Sometimes you want Red text and sometimes you want Bold text. Easy enough to do,
simply define a class and apply it to the element you want red or bold. Use this class where you

Html With Css - a easy look at CSS (13)

Cascading Stylesheets, or CSS, is a very easy way to spice up your web site. The thing I like about
CSS, is it gives you a more extended version for styles. The tag for example is very limited with
what it can do. With CSS though, you can do numerous things. from mouseovers (a:hover) to just
changing a simple paragraph tag to a fancy one. there are two ways to incorperate the style
sheet. the first one is to just put it inside your page: CODE <html> <head>
