XHTML instead of HTML!
Although HTML composed website still shares about 95%+ ratio in the global net,a new things is rising with its dreamful characters,we are sure the epoch of HTML is passing by!
Thanks W3C(World Wide Web Consortium) making a new language XHTML,as a bridge to XML,it lead us step to XML,actually the new standard brings much goodness far more than the compatibility.
Why abandoned HTML,instead use XHTML?
HTML proved 3 major mistakes which have been recognized:
a.Too simple,could not fit for the net equipment and application,such as mobile,PDA,intellectual home electronic tools,these could not read HTML.
b.Too big,as to its unstandardized format,too fat,browsers need powerful knowledge and big enough to read HTML correctly.Of course you can see it is nearly impossible to install IE6 on your PDA,not only the space limit,but also the processor speed.
c.Data and style mixed togethor,this is a traditional big problems for HTML,thus once you need do some corrections of the pages,all HTML need to be re-editing,also different browser and different net applications need different HTML,that brings a lot of troubles.
XHTML is coming
Although HTML composed website still shares about 95%+ ratio for global sites,a new things is rising with its special attractiveness and dreamful characters,we are sure the epoch of HTML is passing by.
Thus W3C(World Wide Web Consortium) make a new language XHTML,as a bridge to XML,it lead us step to XML.XHTML is just an application of XML,it deploys DTD doc format definitions of XML,works well on the systems which support XML,thanks to the Namespace property of XML,Browser developers no need creat new tags.
Another superiority of XHTML is its strict standard.To see thousands of sites at present,their coding status is too bad,old browsers accept private tags,thus brings compatibility problems for same page under different browsers,big differences comes out as surprising.The strict standard of XHTML make browser easy to read and compatibility problems got settled.
