[html] Do You Code HTML or XHTML?
 
I'm just wondering what kind of proportion of you have made the step to XHTML :).

Well as the World wide web consortium started recommending XHTML instead of HTML 4.01 in 1999, I've been using it ever since.

Silvy 01-20-2004 02:22 AM

XHTML strict. But I haven't coded recently I must admit.

I have some long-term projects that I should be continuing, and they are and probably will stay XHTML 1.0 Strict

I'm lazy so what little web stuff I do is HTML (standard at least).

So what is the diff and why should I use XHTML (aside from W3C)?

cheerios 01-20-2004 02:42 PM

html, but I stick to the w3 standards... XHTML is HTML that follows the XML standards, correct? so no tags that don't close, nesting has to be done correctly... we have a book on it juan :D ;)

If cheerios' description is accurate, then, with the exception of some standalone tags - IMG and META tags being the only ones I can think of - Yeah, I do that. If it's a container, I treat it as such.

mr_mcrafe 01-20-2004 09:34 PM

There's also <br>, <hr> etc which turn into <br /> <hr /> respectively. All attributes are to surrounded by brackets, alt attributes are to be included in all <img /> tags, no capitals are to be used.

The advantages are the code is tidier, and it's easier to read (am I forgetting any?). When combined with CSS layout techniques you get very light code which is great for page load time and for search engine optimisation.

I myself code in XHTML 1.0 Strict, I might get round to learning what 1.1 is one day.

I use HTML.

I'll learn XML when I think it's necessary. So far I haven't seen any real benefits.

gigawatz 01-22-2004 01:47 AM

Without a doubt I just HTML, however, without knowing what xHTML is other than the descriptions in the prior posts, then I'm very close to xHTML code. I don't know XML, but the standards listed I follow very strictly, except the capital letters thing, which depends on my mood. But I think I'll have to do some research into that standard.

I use XHTML when it suits me. I dont know how to use it that well, but sometimes it just works out. I always code in standards compliant code though, no matter what I am using.

flamingpeach 01-24-2004 11:53 AM

When i do any I use xhtml. It feels alot cleaner.

Marburg 01-25-2004 01:42 PM

I use XHTML mostly just because it's much tidier - plus is makes me cooler then everyone else who's learning html in school now. :D

numist 01-25-2004 05:30 PM

xhtml since I could remember.

IIRC, the only real difference between HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 are some deprecated tags. There are no additions.

?

In essence XHTML 1.0 combined with CSS is a re-specification of HTML, continuing the evolution to a cleaner web with data and markup seperated.
XHTML when used appropiately is compatible with HTML 4.01 browsers.

Fallon 01-29-2004 09:07 AM

I use HTML, and just the other day started learning CSS, so I feel spiffy again...
Nah, making webpages isn't my thing, so I'm not probably going to go out and learn the newest webpage making standard, whether its html/xhtml/xml/dhtml/whatevertml.
