I hope you people have browsed through the introduction notes.Lets continue with the
class 1.Todays topic is-

"Why you should use XHTML?"

Now this question has a very simple and a logical answer.To get to know a subject one must be well equipped with all the answers that deals with a subjects credibility.
Ok so here it is.The fact is,We have reached a point where many pages on the WWW contain "bad" HTML."bad" in the sense the basic rules of html tag ends is hardly followed these days...

The following HTML code will work fine if you view it in a browser, even if it does not follow the HTML rules:



One thing i missed in the intro was telling you about XML.

"XHTML consists of all the elements in HTML 4.01 combined with the syntax of XML.

XML is a markup language where everything has to be marked up correctly, which results in "well-formed" documents.

So the function of XML and HTML go as follows:-

XML was designed to describe data and HTML was designed to display data.

Today's market consists of different browser technologies, some browsers run Internet on computers, and some browsers run Internet on mobile phones and hand helds. The last-mentioned do not have the resources or power to interpret a "bad" markup language.

Therefore - by combining HTML and XML, and their strengths, we got a markup language that is useful now and in the future - XHTML.

XHTML pages can be read by all XML enabled devices AND while waiting for the rest of the world to upgrade to XML supported browsers, XHTML gives you the opportunity to write "well-formed" documents now, that work in all browsers and that are backward browser compatible !!!
