Cardale Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 W3C Schools != W3C W3C's authority doesn't come from the fact it introduces any changes. It comes from the organisations that form it. And the ''new' changes' are not introduced just for the sake of it. They're introduced because industry demands them. Just saying something doesn't prove it.

sw0o0sh Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 xHTML as far as I know, all lowercased, must be properly nested, more CSS oriented, parent/child relationships with div tree's. Basically very refined html with stricter syntax Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/148204-html-xhtml-any-difference/page/6/#findComment-1080536 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Then read the topic so you can refine your "as far as you know". If that's all there is to it, what do you figure 9 pages were used for?

Minimeallolla Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I use 'XHTML 1.0 Transitional' as text/html merely because it enforces me to close every tag that has been opened and compose a much neater code. I think OCD kicks in when I try 'HTML 4.01 Transitional' and tags such as '<img>' are not closed as I'd like them to be '/>'. I use xhtml the exact same way as html only with additional closed tags.

suryaworldedu Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 * 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 In HTML, some elements can be improperly nested within each other, like this: <b><i>This text is bold and italic</b></i> In XHTML, all elements must be properly nested within each other, like this: <b><i>This text is bold and italic</i></b> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/148204-html-xhtml-any-difference/page/6/#findComment-1226308 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesjmann Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 In a nutshell, XHTML is the same as HTML but with a few differences that make it more "robust": All tag names must be lowercase - i.e. <html> instead of <HTML>) All elements must have corresponding closing tags - i.e. <p>paragraph</p> instead of <p>paragraph Elements without closing tags should use /> - i.e. <br /> and <img src="..." /> instead of <br> and <img src="..."> All attributes must be in quotes - i.e. <span class="test">something</span> instead of <span class=test>something</span> All attributes that are used must have values - i.e. <option selected="selected"> instead of <option selected> Question: I use SELECTED and often times don't give my attributes values. I code in HTML (not XHTML). Can I get away with doing this coding in either?

rohitnanda Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 There are three areas in which the differences between HTML and XHTML affect our use of CSS: case sensitivity. optional tags. properties for the root element.

Who8MyFish Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 What separates pros from amateurs is that the former group knows why and when to use a specific tool. Just saying. What separates pros from amateurs is that the former group often needs to reassure themselves and that they are not the latter group by being unnecessarily condescending to the former group. Anyone else sick of admins and their over the top hubris? You passed on a perfect opportunity to help someone learn something so you could lay down that half assed troll. Douche bag.

Pikachu2000 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 XHTML is same a HTML , We can find few difference in closing tags, attributes, elements, etc. If there are differences, then it isn't the same, now is it?
