Tom,

Are you saying that inline style is not allowed in XHTML?

That is the beauty of using CSS. You can use external pages for site-wide style, internal style for page wide style, and inline for that single line style.

A quick search does appear that inline styles are allowed in strict xhtml so I stand corrected. Now I can't exactly remember why I went transitional and not strict. I don't know if it validates or gives warnings. I have slept many nights since then. LOL. I have to take another look at this...

I believe inline frames are banned in strict, FWIW.

I think I remember that I did not use strict xhtml becasue I couldn't use the align="" in <p> and <h> tags. Nothing to do with inline styles. I guess I can accomplish through css class as well.

Say it ain't so! I don't care how frowned upon they are, they're one of my best friends.

Adam,

http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_iframe.asp states that:

The iframe element is not supported in HTML 4.1 Strict DTD and in XHTML 1.0 Strict DTD.

So there is not real change. Strict DTD does not support iframe in either HTML or XHTML.

Yeah. There's no way my golf league web site can go "strict" unless I were to come up with another way to call up the HTML pages generated by my league software. I'm not manually copying and pasting HTML into web pages for every set of weekly reports, no Sir!

Where is your sense of dedication? I thought you were a reliable, hardcore code-slinger. LOL!

Can't blame ya there Spinny, just had to pick on ya a bit though

I use Expression Web and doc type XHTML 1.0 Transitional. EW writes w3c compliant code. I use many CC apps but have gone with EW because of the standards. No problem with CC scripts validating. Occassionally you may use some app that does not validate, but EW is pretty good about telling you the fix in the compatibility check. If you want to ensure as consistant look and feel across all major browsers, W3C validation is encouraged. EW has a much higher learning curve but once you get the hang of css and dwt's, it has far more potential than most developer tools. What it does lack, CC can supply and their codes validate under XHTML 1.0 Transitional with no problem.
EW is MS's competitor to Dreamweaver at a much reduced cost.
