uh oh..XHTML to HTML |
|---|
| message from A.H.O. on 16 Jul 2004 |
When I started my page I checked the box that asked if I wanted to "make
document XHTML complient". The page is acting differently (things ive done
before arnt working now). Does making it XHTML compliant change anything as
far as that sort of thing goes?
Specificly on an old page I put a "Guest Book" in that was generated by
Bizland. It worked fine. Now, however in this new page that is XHTML
compliant it doesnt work. It appears in the design view, but not in the
browsers.
Can I change my now completed page back to straight HTML? Do I want to do
that?
Thoughts? Thanks

Enter "html xhtml differences" into Google and you'll get plenty of results.
Enter "xhtml importance" or "xhtml significance" into Google and you'll get
plenty of results.
Just bear in mind that XHTML is still evolving and is currently around
version 1.x.
In terms of the practical significance of XHTML in web pages today: there's
not much so far.
Is it worth the effort to tweak your code in a few spots (such as closing
all tags i.e. <br /> instead of <br>) to make it XHTML compliant? That's up
to you.

You may not remember, but I did bring up this issue when you posted your new
rendition of your page :-)
Somewhere in the preferences, you can change it back to html instead of
xhtml and then change the doc type back to what I coded for you originally

XHTML is a method of coding that will, as it evolves, allow more
accessibility and extensibility. Thus far, it's pretty much a cleaning
up of codes, use of stylesheets or embedded styles, non-use of
deprecated elements. That sort of thing.
Your canned guestbook script may well not be suited to an XHTML page if
it includes non-compliant code itself. As an example, if I try to codify
the code amazon gives me for my link to my affiliate account, it no
longer works.
I still prefer to code in XHTML so my way around this - leaving me not
100% compliant but still in the spirit of the thing - is to go back,
after I have everything coded and shaped, and remove the script section
and replace it with the original generated script.
You might try that and see if it helps.
