XHTML Video Tutorial

I show you how to turn standard HTML into xHTML 1.0 Strict. I show all of the differences between the two and how to be compliant with the W3C rules.

@UchihaElroy I'm glad you liked it :)

@wgard By creating pages that are xhtml standard you have a better chance that the page will look the same on all browsers. Pages often load quicker as well

The free and high quality Computer Science department of Derek Banas...

Thanks dear Derek.

[derekbanas]

It is very gratifying to be able to help people all over the world :) you should definitely make tutorials. We need more people if we are to reach our goal of providing a free education for all.

[derekbanas]

Thank you :) I figured everyone else makes slow tutorials so why should I do the same. I'm glad you liked it

[derekbanas]

I make all basic sites with a text editor. Text Wrangler for Mac and NotePad++ for PCs. Programs like Dreamweaver just get in the way and cause problems. Both of the above programs are free as well

The center tag is not supported in html5. Other tags not in html5: acronym, applet, basefont, big, dir, font, frame, frameset, noframes, s, strike, tt, u, and xmp

I've been getting this a lot lately. I haven't done anything with extjs because I had a ton of licensing issues with it a few years back. Licensing back then was running $10, 000. Because I normally try to use 100% free tools, that is why I've avoided it. I'll look into if anything has changed

This sentence in the about section "I make tutorials based on your requests. I will cover any topic you can imagine" and replying to most of the viewer comments shows how selfless you are. Thanks again. I wish I could have done the same if my mother tongue was English.

_target attribute isn't xhtml compliant ? but what if u must use it? we didn't talk about attributes not allowed without a value, and the fact that values should be quoted ? why was that ?

[MohitManuja]

cool, i get that ...what about iframe and still leaves me with my original question, is html 5 an html version not an xhtml one ? from your answer it seems html 5 is stricter, refined html and hence xhtml

[derekbanas]

So your content shows up in exactly the same way on any device

[derekbanas]

You're very welcome. I'm glad to help

[derekbanas]

Yes when I cover cross platform tablet apps

[derekbanas]

I guess I'm a pro sort of and I know a bunch of pros. Surprisingly the pros use expensive programs to model the code and then use text editors or simple ides to write the code. I don't know a single professional developer that uses Dreamweaver for example. Most use PHP, JavaScript, Java and C. On occasion you'll see Python and C#

[MohitManuja]

does it also mean html 5 is simply html and not xhtml, which means that one can use the centre tag and other tags that can't be used with xhtml? and if it is html, than it should be a problem showing the same thing in all browsers ?

[derekbanas]

Thank you :) Everything will always be free as well!

[MohitManuja]

I just could not rest till i found my answer html5 is somewhere between html, loose syntax and forgiveness and the very strict xhtml . i was looking for this answer to add to what you just wrote, anyways i was driven to think and lookup by 2 of your tuts, thanks Derek !

[derekbanas]

@topchristmasgiftslis You're welcome :)

So is the aside tag and article tag considered HTML 5?
