[HTML] Upgrading to XHTML Standards

[Grok]

Here's a short read on how SlashDot /. is rewriting their HTML 3.2 to current web standard XHTML 1.0 Transitional.  They also upgrade their CSS so it is valid.

If you do web pages, you might get some ideas from the steps listed.  Keeping your pages as HTML 3.2 is NOT making them more flexible.  Contary, it is making them more difficult for browsers to interpret, and the different browsers treat many things differently.  By implementing XHTML 1.0 (or 1.1 if you want to go modular), you make it simple for all types of browser devices to view your content.

(Semi-serious question) So what do I do if I want to make it difficult for people on cell phones to view my pages (but also ensure general compatibility with the major PC based browsers)?  I want those cell phone people to get a real computer!

Haha, there's ways to do that.  If their devices identify their browser type, you can send them alternate pages.  I like that thought though.  If someone tries to view your page from their refrigerator, you can show them a ham (no water added).

Yea, you could use asp.net mobile controls. They are sexy, they adapt for palms, cell phones, pocket pc, black berry, etc, one site works for all mobile. But to work on all browsers use css for your layout then hack the crap out of it for old ie. My latest site ( The layout is finished but I am doing the content now) http://knights.europe.webmatrixhosting.net/wfrp/index.aspx works on ns opera ie6 ie5.5 ie5 and then the it goes text based for non complient browsers but the content is still accessable. I tested it on lynx and it worked even!

www.try2hack.nl level 8 or 9 is that... You have to spoof your IE version to trick it to let you in (you need IE version 11.0 or something). I got stuck on it.
