[thelist] embarrassingly stupid XHTML questions

Mon Sep 17 14:26:43 CDT 2001

On Sep 17, Green, Janet had something to say about [thelist] embarrassingly...

>1. When writing a page in XHTML, does one save the page as .html, or .xhtml?

.html will do fine.

>2. If XHTML pages can be "transitional," can they also be something else? If
>so, what? 

Strict.

>And how do you know which one to state in the <head> of the
>document? 

Well, you don't state it in the <head>, but you code to one of the
specs. Whichever spec you code to and the page validates to will be the
one you state.
