So, I'm curious. Who prefers which version and why? Myself, I prefer X, obviously because of the more organised nature that the W3 have gone about when designing it. That, and that combining it with CSS can produce some top websites. Some of the rules annoy me though  e.g. Having to close certain tags or lay out certain areas of code in an unfamiliar way. I keep confusing myself Edit:Just realised I may have put this in the wrong board. Feel free to move it and delete this edit line, Mods. Sorry about that  |

You certainly did. I think the moderators won't mind. They're getting lazy these days. (Kidding). I prefer XHTML, just like you. The overal cleanliness of the code is brilliant; you rarely get that in a HTML code. And some rules, while stricter, is needed for the structure to be more "proper" and clean. X all the way. |

There is really not that much of a differnce between the two. If im not mistaken xhtml was set up with xml. Xhtml deprecated a few tags, added a few and such but not much of a change. The rules are as strict as they have always been according to my knowladge. It just depends which doctype you are using. But it is really hard to say what do you like better because they both co exist and you can't really choose one over the other in most aspects. It is not like <html> was changed to <xhtml> Now xhtml 2 will be cool. Anything can be a hyperlink - <table href="wewt.com"> =D ~dan |

Certain rules of it are flat out pointless.
For example, requiring a link to have a alt attribute, even if it's set to an empty string. However, I do to follow standards, so XHTML.

I personally like the idea of XHTML and code semantically, but I do not like the way XHTML is implemented and I do not officially code XHTML. For example, my HTML is XML-compatible, but I do not send it as such. I do use css stylesheets to display and html for data. I would code XHTML if it was the only choice and all browsers were compliant with it. But, it is currently not how I code.

I'm saying HTML =P
And i'm saying that for two reasons:
1) I just read WWX's blog entry about this, and i agree
2) So what if XHTML is standard? DOM Methods are the W3C standard, but innerHTML is faster and easier...so would you rather use DOM?
It's the same for HTML and XHTML...you can't just choose one because it's standards compliant...and i rather like HTML's messy layout...=P
I consider HTML to be my dark messy room which i love soo much, and XHTML to be my mom's clean and tidy room....which i rather hate=/

I prefer XHTML. XHTML is basically HTML. It is just like HTML, only a lot more organized. It's just a bunch of rules that you follow and your coding actually ends up neater than if you do messed up HTML: HTML: <table cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 bgcolor=000000 marginleft=3> XHTML: <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="background-color: #000000; margin-left: 3px;"> |

I'm just wondering, how many of those who voted XHTML send their pages with Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml

I always do XHTML. I prefer it. It tends to be tedious in lengthy scripts, however, it is a lot neater. However, a lot of the time, I do a mix.

XHTML. It's good I began learning XHTML before I really got indepth with HTML, otherwise, learning XHTML would be a lot harder than it already is for me now. It isn't loads different, but I'm still learning, so that opinion may change.

xhtml was designed with using xml and html together in mind, and its also much cleaner, although I'm always forgetting those annoying rules.. );

I would code XHTML if it was the only choice and all browsers were compliant with it. But, it is currently not how I code. Agreed. I like HTML because it allows for loose coding if need be. The reason there are so many issues with bad coding is the coders, not the language. If people weren't so lazy, there wouldn't be any issues with malformed code, but there are. Switching to XHTML doesn't make you a better programming, just becoming a better programmer does. You could look at my HTML at any time and see that it's just as organized and clean as any XHTML page, moreso if I'm really looking to make it look neat. It's entirely up to you to make it organized. Same with OOP, it's up to the individual programmer to decide that they need OOP to organize and make clean their program, or some, like myself, may find that they don't need it. |

well i used ot be adimatly against XHTML untill i istarted using it, i mean sure i still did everything proper in html queted everything and used css but but still the fact remains that XHTML is faster to write, standards compliant(now if only ie was), and more flexible then HTML one su break away for just using tables all the time so i say yay for xhtml, i think there will be a large push for everything using xhtml in the next couple years (hopefully)
hehe man id love to see a 20,000 line program writen without OOP that would be crazy
