XHTML is not very different from the HTML 4.01 standard. So, bringing your code up to the 4.01 standard is a good start. Our complete HTML 4.01 reference can help you with that.
In addition, you should start NOW to write your HTML code in lowercase letters, and NEVER skip ending tags (like </p>).
Happy coding!
The Most Important Differences:
XHTML elements must be properly nested
XHTML elements must always be closed
XHTML elements must be in lowercase
XHTML documents must have one root element
XHTML Elements Must Be Properly
HTML is very easy to use; it was designed that way. You don't have to be a programmer to use it. If you can edit a text file, then you can write HTML (and if you can write email, you can edit a text file). If you tried to learn before and couldn't, then someone wasn't telling you the right things.
This tutorial will explain the structure of HTML quickly and clearly, and show you through examples the practical things you need to know, so you can be making your own pages soon (like, this afternoon). The whole tutorial is about 14 printed pages, but you
In a sense, nobody is in charge of the web. The web is an open standard, with no restrictions on who can post content, or what that content should be about. The web belongs to everybody, and so it belongs to nobody. The openness and decentralization of the web is one of its greatest strengths. But it wouldn't work at all without some sort of standard way of encoding the information. That's where the World Wide Web consortium (W3C) comes in.
The W3C is an international, vendor-neutral group that determines the protocols and standards for the web. They
This is an introduction of the very basics of HyperText Mark-up Language. H-T-M-L are initials that stand for HyperText Markup Language (computer people love initials and acronyms -- you'll be talking acronyms ASAP). Let me break it down for you:
# Hyper is the opposite of linear. It used to be that computer programs had to move in a linear fashion. This before this, this before this, and so on. HTML does not hold to that pattern and allows the person viewing the World Wide Web page to go anywhere, any time they want.
# Text is what you will use.
In 1986, a new ISO standard (ISO 8879) was released which aimed to make platform and display differences irrelevant to the delivery and rendering of documents. This standard detailed the language called the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML.)
Tim Berners-Lee and the Genesis of the WWW
In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee created a proposal for a hypertext document system to be used within the CERN community. Although based in Switzerland, CERN members were scattered throughout the globe and project turnover was often high. Collaboration over long
When we hear the word XHTML we automatically think of the CSS interface and the text language of the internet or World Wide Web. Recently we got use to using this tool of script to write into the CSS scripting to perform our many tasks and designs on web pages and browsers. But why the change over from the old to the new XHTML 2? Well it has a large part to do with the introduction of the new Microsoft software’s and internet Explorer 7 releasement. The W3C works on making sure that all software’s are compatible in use with each other so they can
