55 Reasons to Design in XHTML/CSS

OMG I thought you actually made up 55 reasons

40. Strict coding makes you learn to see mistakes quicker

Oh boy oh boy yes it does

i don't know xHTML but CSS <333333333333333333333333333

i use css all the time.



no xhtml though. i must learn.

wait...so before css, people would code their WHOLE sites with ONLY stuff like <font size=4 color=#000000> & stuff like that..?

"53. By more people using xhtml you ensure that in the future IE will need to understand the correct MIME-type"
Should be number one, psh. &yeah Frankie. They did, and some still do. Why I was chosen for the "design" portion of our school website. Although he didn't much like my design, not "school-oriented" enough. I must strive to use XHTML more.

wow.

thats scary.

Wow. Thank you so much for sharing this. I found it very informative. (I even saved it as a favorite =) )

xhtml, i think it works in all browser.

^I'm pretty sure you're right, for the most part. Div positioning will always be a little weird, but there shouldn't be any glaring brokenness in other browsers.

I decided to learn all the little rules and whatnot, and I'm glad I did. It gives me a challenge and I feel like my code is more clean instead of thrown together. Plus, it is SUCH a great feeling when I run my site through the validator and finally get the green text saying "Passed Validation" instead of red. :D

If it is valid, yes. The same goes for all web coding—if the code is valid, it should display properly. The difference is that XHTML is much more strict than HTML, so it is easy to figure out if anything is invalid.
