The Extensible Hypertext Markup Language, or XHTML, is a markup language that has the same depth of expression as HTML, but also conforms to XML syntax.

With XHTML Mobile Profile, you can build apps that adhere to hardware requirements for users on different devices and render on multiple handheld devices. Saleeb, Hany. IBM (2006).

In the meantime there are some important things you can do to prepare yourself for it. As you will learn from this tutorial, XHTML is not very different from HTML 4.01, so bringing your code up to 4.01 standards is a very good start. Our complete HTML 4.01 reference can help you with that. In addition, you should start NOW to write your HTML code in lowercase letters, and NEVER make the bad habit of skipping end tags like the .6. #29589 Displaying ADO Retrieved Data with XML Islands An XML data island is a piece of well-formed XML embedded into an HTML file. This article will show you how to retrieve data in an XML format from a database using ADO; you will also learn how to bind this data into an HTML document. Krishnaswamy, Jayaram.

Design>Web Design>Standards>XHTML 8. #23322 Let your server do the walking! Whether you're replacing one headline or a thousand, Stewart Rosenberger's Dynamic Text Replacement automatically swaps XHTML text with an image of that text, consistently displayed in any font you own. The markup is clean, semantic, and accessible. No CSS hacks are required, and you needn't open Photoshop or any other image editor. Read about it today; use it on personal and commercial web projects tomorrow. Rosenberger, Stewart. List Apart, A (2004). Design>Web Design>CSS>XHTML 9. #25732 Extending XHTML: Target and Strict That the target attribute is not by default allowed in valid XHTML 1.1 or XHTML 1.0 Strict continues to be a source of frustration for designers. It simply doesn't have to be. Burkett, Wayne. Dionidium (2004). Design>Web Design>Standards>XHTML 10. #22334 Extensible HyperText Markup Language (XHTML) Tutorial The Extensible HyperText Markup Language (XHTML) is intended to be a replacement for HTML. XHTML has a stricter syntax than HTML and is the official recommendation. of the W3C. XHTML was required due to the poor standard of some HTML documents due to the forgiving nature of browsers. This tutorial discusses the issues in making your documents XHTML compliant. 11. #27511 Wondering how to turn your HTML markup into XHTML? Here are a few quick tips to teach you the very basics, a sample XHTML document, and resources for more information. Kaiser, Shirley E. Website Tips (2001). Design>Web Design>HTML>XHTML 12. #13502 Fix Your Site With the Right DOCTYPE Per HTML and XHTML standards, a DOCTYPE (short for “document type declaration”) informs the validator which version of (X)HTML you’re using, and must appear at the very top of every web page. DOCTYPEs are a key component of compliant web pages: your markup and CSS won’t validate without them. Zeldman, Jeffrey. List Apart, A (2002). Design>Web Design>Standards>XHTML 13. #10207 "Forgiving" Browsers Considered Harmful Current browsers are very forgiving; they quietly correct or gloss over many common HTML errors. This makes it easy for people to experience the joy of creating their own web pages with a minimum of frustration—if a page displays correctly, then it's “right.” Unfortunately, by hiding the need for structure that the web will require as it moves towards XHTML and XML, these forgiving browsers have helped create a world of structural HTML illiterates. As long as browsers continue to parse and display HTML that isn't well-formed or valid, we will never learn the right ways, and we will never get to a structural web. Eisenberg, J. David. List Apart, A (2001). Design>Web Design>Standards>XHTML 14. #30660 While the intention of both HTML V5 and XHTML V2 is to improve on the existing versions, the approaches the developers chose to make those improvements is very different. And with differing philosophies come distinct results. For the first time in many years, the direction of upcoming browser versions is uncertain. Uncover the bigger picture behind the details of these two standards. de Jonge, Adriaan. IBM (2007). Articles>Web Design>Standards>XHTML 15. #27636 HTML, XHTML, Semantics and the Future of the Web Clarifies exactly what XHTML is, explains why you need to be learning about it from today, and steps through the process of transitioning to the standards based way of marking up for the web, and beyond. Allsopp, John. Western Civilization (2005). Articles>Web Design>Information Design>XHTML 16. #18755 The benefits of transforming HTML from a stand-alone language into an XML version of itself aren't immediately apparent until you understand the inherent value of XML. Since the language syntax is so strict in XML, parsers (the software that reads and understands the code you write) are a lot easier to develop. Ultimately, it will allow browsers to become smaller, faster, and more stable. It also means your code will behave in a far more predictable way: Either something will work, or you will get an error. It will be a marked difference from the voodoo we experience across multiple browsers today. Veen, Jeffrey. Webmonkey (1999). Design>Web Design>Standards>XHTML 17. #22645 Most people have heard of HTML - the language of the web. Far fewer have heard of XHTML. Believe it or not, HTML is dead and XHTML is here to take its place. This article goes through XHTML in technical detail, and points out the key differences between it and traditional HTML. Duffy, Scott. XGuru (2003). Design>Web Design>XHTML 18. #23173 Joe Clark's Answers -- in Valid XHTML An extremely interesting but rather long read -- answers each question thoroughly and, there is plenty of discourse following the piece itself. Clark, Joe. Slashdot (2002). Articles>Web Design>Accessibility>XHTML 19. #25469 As a fundamental part of the Web, hypertext linking has been the subject of repeated attempts at standardization beyond the basic format allowed in simple HTML. Such attempts can be characterized as efforts to balance machine processing ability with authoring convenience. The latest specification in this area, XHTML 2.0, just might have gotten it right. Dubinko, Micah. IBM (2005). Articles>Web Design>Standards>XHTML 20. #28240 IE/Win does not render these quotation marks, and because of this, most web authors choose not to use the Q tag. I'm here to change all that! Cordoni, Stacey. List Apart, A (2006). Design>Web Design>HTML>XHTML 21. #20392 XHTML is HTML described as an application of XML. It is very similar to HTML, indeed all the element names and their semantics are identical, but it has some important differences. We will look at the more important of these now. 22. #20394 A free service that checks documents like HTML and XHTML for conformance to W3C Recommendations and other standards. 23. #27673 Migrating from HTML to XHTML and XML - Part I This is the first part of a two-part article describing a detailed methodology for migrating HTML files to the structure and flexibility of XHTML and/or XML. By using XHTML to add structure and separate content from presentation, you'll be better positioned for a move to XML. Even if you never move to XML, your XHTML files will be easier to create and maintain, and will be more accessible. James-Tanny, Char. WritersUA (2006). Design>Web Design>Standards>XHTML 24. #27639 Migrating from HTML to XHTML and XML - Part II This is the second part of a two-part article describing a detailed methodology for migrating HTML files to the structure and flexibility of XHTML and/or XML. James-Tanny, Char. WritersUA (2006). Articles>Web Design>Standards>XHTML 25. #20458 As the Internet world shifts its focus to XML and related technologies, what happens to HTML? Everywhere you go, products are becoming 'XMLitized' as vendors rush to gain market share. While this is great for companies that are only now beginning to build their infrastructures, what about the rest of us whose sites have existed for years, accumulating documents architected on old HTML technology? How are we to take our millions and millions of HTML documents and bring them into the next generation of Internet computing? Fortunately, the market for tools in this space is growing, and technologies like Extensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML) are making it easier to migrate your repository of existing HTML documents.
