XHTML and HTML

[UKuser]

I've just read a very interesting article about XHTML which has begun
to question my logic of designing my pages as XHTML 1.0 Strict.

If you design pages as XHTML please read it:
http://www.webdevout.net/articles/beware-of-xhtml

We all know that xhtml has to be served as application/xhtml+xml and
maybe don't mind if it doesnt, however if it IS served (even as VALID
xhtml) as xhtml+xml, Internet Explorer won't display it! At all!

For those who use firefox, this plugin is well worth adding so you can
properly view your pages through the Firefox/XML parser:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3207.

However my Q on that basis is, does anyone know of a way to convert
XHTML to HTML 4.01 Strict? I have HTML tidy, but not sure if it can be
done. Is there a simple converter somewhere out there?

Can't you just use the search-and-replace feature of a good text editor?
It isn't _that_ complicated.

Loose all the end-tags
Change all lowercase tags to uppercase

Valid point - not quite sure why I didnt think of that!! Replace />
with > and change doctype and its produced valid HTML 4.01 strict!

Because you don't use S & R much in your work, it was not in the
area of your brain to get noticed, it was feint and hidden...

'Know what gets me? I'm pretty darn good in javascript and have much
experience but I _still_ have to look up several commands or functions [-
like Math.floor()] to recall the exact format of their implimentation.

Guess we're just not genii.

The plural of the English word "genius" is "geniuses".

Don't use the Latin plural of genius unless you're aware that the Latin
word "genius" means something somewhat different from the English word.

So? Relax and enjoy the ride!

While I am here, I might as well give Boji a small shove: hey, Mr
English Grammar Standards Guru, will this make you a bit humbler
in your pronouncements about proper names?

I know; I was going for cutesy.

Ja wohl, herr tyrannicalsaurus wrecks...

PS: Btw, what exactly does that "BSc (Hons) ARCS" in your sig mean?
-They awarded you certification for drawing multiple parabolae?

Nah. I was simply employing artistic license and one has to make
allowances for foreignors.

ARCS = Associate of the Royal College of Science. (In other words, I did my
degree at the Royal College of Science.)

Well, seriously, congratulations and kudos. I'd be proud, too.

Royal College, huh? Royalty is a multifarious concept over here in The
States. I'm not that familiar with the full ambience of the word from the
monarchistic point of view, but I do eat a lot of Royal pudding.

Interesting what thoughts my original post has created!! Happy
chatting. So if I said - I'm no expert but not bad - does that throw
an extra word into play (expert)?
