Xhtml Concerns - just wondering

Saint_Michael
i been reading about it i got somewhat an understanding of it but how can you clearly define as xhtml when all it really is a html redefined to the point that its just trimmed down and little bit added here and there or its just the lack of understanding of it that confuses me. well of course im wondering if anyone is using xhtml or still using html or a combo of both?

of course i need some more info w3c don't help out much.

xhtml is meant to have the "elements" of XML coding, it's not really that much different from HTML, but it's a lot more structured and requires clean coding.

so you have to have an understanding of xml before using xhtml or no?

XML is a language to define another markup languages. SGML is a language used to define another markup languages. You have to consider XML and SGML in the same level. However XML is more simple. The specification is about 50 pages agains 250 of SGML and more powerful. HTML is a markup language defined from SGML and XHTML is a language defined from XML. XHTML brings to the Web more stability, clean clode and more portable applications. Also it is not difficult to lear if you are good with HTML. It will take you around an hour to get to know the differences. Also you do not have to learn XML. But not learning XML nowadays is like ignoring the Web 10 years ago. :-)

clean coding you mean by less errors will show and that it will actually display the info correctly? and i have a good idea what programs you mean (php, mysql, running an online store etc etc.)
well i guess i have to look at websites that have xhtml any recommandations on websites that actually use it if not that ok but the thing i don't get xml is when i look at coding it comes up looking like your look at the code.


so is xml more data base like php and mysql cuz from what i see about xml in order to use it you have to create a database then implment the coding. and the tutorials that i seen some use javascript so is it also possible to use it as php and mysql?

With clean code i mean separation from content and layout.

Forget databases and scripting. If you have time read this page, it could help you to get the XML Hype


Not moving from HTML to XHTML is like keep using Netscape 2.0 when there is already outside the 7.0 version.

    1.0 Strict and CSS3 valid, our CSS won't even have any warnings on them apart from one. So the
    first thing we need to do is set up a base structure for the XHTML. Below is the code for this.

  9. Encoding And Xhtml Requirements

    OK, so after reading a lot of contradicting information I decided to ask. How should document

    suggests the server should send the encoding in the content-type header. The problem with this that
    I see is that you can't always make a blanket judgment about what encoding pages will be in. Is
    it simply suggested to use .htaccess files (or equivalent) for this, then? I am led to believe that
    most (all?) browsers will ignore a content-type meta tag. Is there another in-file o....

    We all remember the good old tables right? When we used them to design or beloved websites. But
    nowadays things have change a little bit, strict code format, css, xhtml and no tables. And so
    when it comes finally to the design of a form, instead of having two rows (left row with the label
    and right row with the input tag) and those rows aligned to look nice (left row= right aligned and
    right row=left aligned), how can we keep order with our fancy style sheet? Thanks in advance.....
  16. Xhtml Dtd
    can you set it up? (5)
    Can you set up the document type definition in order to create your own tags in XHTML? (Just as it
    happens with XML). I have been learning XML and DTD, and as i actually DO find it useful, i think
    its even more useful the fact that a language (like HTML) already strongly accepted, has its own
    structures defined. Its just sometimes you need to add a little adjustment here and there. So i
    ask if theres a way to define this in XHTML, your structures of tags and attributes and all that. I
    already know a coupple of sites which teach xhtml, but just have not found what i wa....

    all kinds of features about xhtml and css and it rocks, but i have got a lot of problems with the
    arrangement, alignement and possitioning, specially when the content of tables differs and i have to
    create a new class, and then i have to reorder all the padding, marging, width and heights commands
    or even worse, nesting!. I lose the control of the layout. ok the question here is if there is
    any way of doing standard tables(with divs) of content or layouts structures,....

  19. Html And Xhtml
    serving the right kind (11)
    Right now I have a site, which I've made XHTML 1.0 Strict. I am sending it as
    application/xhtml+xml to browsers that say they can handle it, and as text/html to all other
    browsers. Anyway, I started thinking that I'd much rather send proper HTML 4.01 to browsers that
    don't understand XHTML instead of XHTML pretending to be HTML 4.01. It's not really a
    problem with IE, because it is made to handle badly written sites, but who knows, some browser that
    can handle HTML, but not XHTML, may be (correctly) parsing CODE <p> Hello <br />
