XHTML Development

by Digisha Modi)

As web site owners, we all want our site to reach as many people as possible. For your site to reach the widest potential audience, it is important that it is developed in the most cross browser compatible method possible. XHTML is that method. The rise of handheld internet ready devices is forcing lazy web designers to program their sites more efficiently, since most internet ready cell phones and PDAs require XHTML to be able to view web sites properly. XHTML is the W3C standard for developing cross browser compatible web sites. It fuses all of the display elements of HTML with some of the functionality of XML. By forcing a web designer to program more carefully and adhere to strict code standards, XHTML allows a larger percentage of browsers or code parsers to properly parse your documents. In less geeky terms, it means more people can see your site the way you meant for them to see it, and less people see your site with elements strewn all over their page. XHTML mainly encourages developers to write HTML in a way that conforms to the stricter rules of XML. Due to the similarity between XHTML and HTML, it is hoped that developers will find it easy to transition their websites to the XML way of doing things. W3C XHTML is expected to painlessly transition the WWW to the future where searching, indexing and parsing information will herald a new era of boosting productivity by guaranteeing easy access to useful and reliable information from the clutter of WWW. XHTML’s benefit of introducing uniformity to document structures is especially important to large organizations and businesses that have to deal with immense amounts of product information and customer databases. The entire process of building an XHTML document starts with doc-type declaration, which characterizes the entire site. The most widespread is XHTML 1.0 Transitional, along with others. Moreover, there are free validation services, available to confirm the coding of your site. To start with, the robotic consultants at validator.w3.org and jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ provide an ideal opportunity. A valid website offers great benefits. According to the Accessibility Discrimination Act, all websites should work alike for disabled people, using screen readers and also similar for standard web browsers such as the Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Opera. In addition, the authorized Google web master guide affirms the checking of broken links and correct HTML A valid XHTML site delivers better speed and provides proper display in all the web browsers, thereby providing access to even those clients who operate on ordinary web browsers.
