I have serached around the net and yet havn't been able to find a complete list of all the XHTML 1.0 tags and their attributes. Does anyone know of a site with this - I would be very greatful. Also I noticed that some sites say <applet> is depricated and that <object> should be used instead. However some sites say that <object> is not available in Netscape. Which tag should I use. I am also making a poll to see on a whole what most people use - though which is more "correct".<br />
Thanks very much<br />
Benoni<!--content-->XHTML ™ 1.0 is simply an XML version of HTML 4.01 and XHTML ™ 1.1 is XHTML ™ 1.0 Strict.

Benoni<!--content-->Yes, in a way XHTML is the next version of HTML, though more of a modification to the current version, than an actual new verion. Though HTML 4.01 will still be around for a while, and isn't necessarily outdated. Also, read this quote from the W3C:<br />

You might as well learn one of the XHTML Families as XHTML 1.0 is easier to learn than HTML 4.01 and <object> has been available for a long time even Netscape 4.7x understood it to some degree. The only way XHTML ™ 1.0 is easier to learn than HTML 4.01 is that HTML has a lot of things that are optional. But most people who write HTML include those optional things anyway, never knowing that they could be omitted. <br />

2) MSIE still doesn't get the OBJECT element right. And a recent security patch made it get it even more wrong.<!--content-->Thanks I will use XHTML.<br />
How badly does IE mess up the <object> tag. I am quite worried about using it incase it doesn't work on certian browsers.<br />
Thanks<br />
