What Are DOCTYPEs?

In Category: getting started, html
Posted By Codenique @ 8:33:32 PM
 

Now lets talk about the <!DOCTYPE> command. The majority of your web pages if not all should begin with a <!DOCTYPE>. A <!DOCTYPE> is a command and not an HTML or XHTML tag that lets the browser know which DTD your web page complies with as well as what to expect from your web page. The <!DOCTYPE> command also tells validators how to judge your code in order to check its syntax which then signals the beginning of the actual code which starts with the <html> tag. The <!DOCTYPE> is short for document type declaration.

First, before we get started let me just say that HTML is not a case-sensitive language, which basically means that you can type the tags and attributes in either uppercase or lowercase, or a mixture of both. But I suggest that you type in lowercase because it is a strict requirement of XHTML which is the future of HTML.

Adding Comments To HTML or XHTML Web Pages

In Category: getting started, html
Posted By Codenique @ 3:09:28 AM
 

Now before I begin there are two ways to add comments to your HTML and XHTML documents. Let me start with the <comment> tag first, which also requires an end tag. One more thing you should know is that every thing contained in the <comment> tag is only ignored by Internet Explorer. All most all other browsers will display the comments to the user. Because of this I don’t recommend the <comment> tag. There is a better way to add comments to your HTML and XHTML documents so I will end my discussion about this tag now.
