Hello,I am not in it for the money, just making a comment.
I also make my own pages and use 3.2 and more.
Put your doctype first, befor <html>,
Just use this doctype:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
and your page will be valid. It will cover 3.2 and more.Also use this
charset in the head (this is a standard type, most common) and you
should be
compliant.
This goes in the head:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" >
You should check out the authority on html and
have them validate your page. If you do not
use a doctype or charset, it will not be valid but still work ok.
If your tags are not in order, it will let you know also. They are at:
http://validator.w3.org/
They also have a very excellent tool to check your pages after
editing called MAX's HTML Beauty.You would really like this tool,it's
great!
Download this program and use it every time you make changes, you will
love it,but it is a little tricky at first.Will be glad to help you
understand this program over the phone, it is easy to understand after
doing it once.
Can also find it at Snap Files at:
http://www.snapfiles.com/get/maxhtml.html
It works on windows systems.
I run this program on my changed pages to double check, it is too
easy to make mistakes.
You would be supprised how many pages out there are not compliant!
I do not think you have anything to worry about, html is still
the most popular, css is a addition to html as well as java script.
You can do a lot with adding to your html, I recomend the book:
Top 100 Simplified Tips and Tricks, HTML
It has 100 handy additions that will have you flashing up your pages!
There are not a lot of people out there that make there pages from notepad,
everyone else would use a program to do the job.Some times it takes manual
edditing to get the results you want,and knowing html is a great binafit.
Making your pages from scratch does make you a web master!
Html is here to stay!!! |
