1) requires a different Document Tpe Declaration at the start of the file. CODE <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/tr/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml-strict.dtd"> 2) all tags need to be closed. Even single tags use a "/" to close the tag. CODE <br /> 3) all tags must be lower case. CODE <TITLE> is not acceptable, but <title> is. 4) less forgiving. It assumes nothing. In html, you can forget an end tag. Not in Xhtml. There are other differences, but these are the main issues you will run into as you adapt to the differences... For a more complete description, look here at the w3schools web site. Good luck with it.... it is easier than it looks if you already have an Html background.
If it's pretty much the same as html, but "less forgiving", than why would you use over html? What are it's extra capabilitis?
xhtml is a development of html
now html version is : html 4.01 traditional xhtml version is : xhtml 1.0 strict ( traditional) xhtml 1.1 strict and you will say why use xhtml instead of html? by the developing of web design and internet browser.there be more and more code writing style by every browser.the web designer also got so freedomly to write the codes.so html 4.01 won't fit the process of browser update. if internet explorer publised the new version support this code expression like CODE <marquee>some</marquee> but netscape browser don't support the "marquee",they support CODE <blink> but no other browser supported.then there would got many problems of display.your web displayed this type in IE,displayed another type in Mozilla.it's really bad. so the [url=http://webstands.org]webstands[/code] organization was built.the organization do the effort to perswade the microsoft and opera ,netscape browsers to support webstands,so the web designed based on web standards will displaed the same on any brosers. ---- xhtml is between xml and html. xml is a extensioned language that can be used on more programme.xhtml fits both html and xml. xhtml is a webstandard language.the sites whose web page use xhtml and css layouts got more and more .the codes of them bacame short and simple than html. ---- i just searched for a manuall book about xhtml and css layouts.wish anyone know that would help me. thank you very much. best regards, guangdian QUOTE(ZeroHawk @ Nov 2 2005, 10:19 AM) If it's pretty much the same as html, but "less forgiving", than why would you use over html? What are it's extra capabilitis? Taken from here: QUOTE XHTML is the W3C standard for developing cross browser compatible websites. It fuses all of the display elements of HTML with some of the functionality of XML. By forcing a web designer to program more carefully and adhere to strict code standards, XHTML successfully allows a vastly larger percentage of browsers or code parsers to properly parse your documents. In less geeky terms, it means more people can see your site the way you meant for them to see it, and less people see your site with elements strewn all over their page. For your site to reach the widest potential audience, it is important that it is developed in the most cross browser compatible method possible. XHTML is that method.
Xhtml is like the evolution of html, its the next step for html. It stands for eXtensible Hypertext Markup Language. It is more strict than html, by this it means that certain elements were removed or changed. For instance, you can have to close every tag you make, even the br! < /br>, and you have to separate presentation from content (put presentation on a style sheet). In Xhtml you arent supposed to have a font property, color etc in each text, instead you define a tag and use it in all your text. This is supposed to be a standard that will be, or is, a cross browser solution for many navigators, and it comes in three flavors: strict, transitional and frameset.
I still dont get it...can you show me sum code and what it does that HTML can NOT do. like how much more effect and better is XHTML to HTML?
QUOTE(uaktags @ Nov 9 2005, 02:32 AM) like how much more effect and better is XHTML to HTML? I hate when people don't read threads properly.  This was just two posts above yours and, in a nutshell, describes exactly why XHTML is better than HTML: QUOTE XHTML is the W3C standard for developing cross browser compatible websites.

For your site to reach the widest potential audience, it is important that it is developed in the most cross browser compatible method possible. XHTML is that method.
XHTML is a combination of HTML tags and XML strictness. If you forget to close a tag, the page isn't valid. Empty tags must have a "/" bafore the ">". Atrributes must have a value; <p nowrap /> won't work, instead use <p nowrap="nowrap" />.
Well obviously you know what XHTML is now. If you want to learn how to use it or any coding languages go to http://w3schools.org It is a great site for learning to code. You can also learn here at the forums in this section or the tutorials. Many people here are experienced and can help you.

XHTML is something that I hate using, however it's growing to become more popular than HTML...all tags must be lowercase, you must end all tags, even breaks. In short, learn HTML before you learn XHTML.
QUOTE(jlhaslip @ Nov 1 2005, 07:10 PM) Xhtml is very similar to html. The biggest differences in terms of using it are : 1) requires a different Document Tpe Declaration at the start of the file.

I can't make it any clearer than I already have.
If an attribute depends on the property, and there are special properties for different browsers, then obviously you will have special attributes right?
I don't really understand what you are trying to say... the fact is that you can not use the scrollbar-face-color propertie to change the color of the scrollbar in firefox, so I think that the point is whether or not CSS will become totally cross browser standard, which I believe it already ALMOST is... So the main issue will be with the browsers, so that they show up things as they were intended to be based on w3c standards... QUOTE(Lozbo @ Dec 28 2005, 12:29 PM) There are special css for IE and for Mozilla, try google for changing the color of the scroll bar (only for IE). That's CSS properties. The attributes are the things that relate to the properties. I meant that if you have a property common to all browsers, it has the same attributes - it doesn't have different attributes depending on what browser you're using. QUOTE(Tyssen @ Dec 21 2005, 05:51 PM) No, CSS has the same attributes for all browsers. There are special css for IE and for Mozilla, try google for changing the color of the scroll bar (only for IE). For example: moz-border-radius is a CSS property only for Mozilla. scrollbar-face-color is a CSS property only for IE. I believe there must be more, for other browsers yet i ignore it.
