<hypertext, standard, World-Wide Web> (XHTML) A reformulation
of HTML 4.01 in XML. Being XML means that XHTML can be
viewed, edited, and validated with standard XML tools. At the
same time, it operates as well as or better than HTML 4 in
existing HTML 4 conforming user agents.
The most important change is that all elements must be
terminated, either with a closing tag or using the <tag.../>
shorthand. So, instead of
<input type=submit>
you would write
<input type="submit" />
The space before the "/" is required by some older browsers.
Other differences are that tag and attribute names should be
lower case and all attributes should be quoted.
XHTML Home.
