    XHTML stands for Extensible HyperText MarkUp Language. It is very much similar to HTML. Basically it's a better version of HTML.

      XHTML is extensible hypertext markup language..
      XHTML is document type and xml based..
      It is designed to work in conjuction with XML..
      so to work with XHTML u have to know XMl which includes DTD,XSL..

        XHTML is an Extensible Markup language.It is an XML based HTML.HTML is probably the most successful document markup language in the world. But when XML was introduced, a two-day workshop was organised to discuss whether a new version of HTML in XML was needed. The opinion at the workshop was a clear 'Yes': with an XML-based HTML other XML languages could include bits of XHTML, and XHTML documents could include bits of other markup languages. We could also take advantage of the redesign to clean up some of the more untidy parts of HTML, and add some new needed functionality, like better forms.

          A hybrid between HTML and XML specifically designed for Net device displays, ensures that layout and presentation stay true to form over any platform。so if you are able to HTML,i think you need not re-learn a whole bunch of stuff .

            HI

            1. If you confuse b/w what you want to learn(html or xhtml), then you can go for XHTML.
            2. If you know the HTML then you don't need to learn XHTML.

            I think XHTML very strict about there tags but in html so many tags are optional. So we can say that XHTML is the update version of the HTML.

            thanks

              What Is XHTML?

              * XHTML stands for EXtensible HyperText Markup Language
              * XHTML is almost identical to HTML 4.01
              * XHTML is a stricter and cleaner version of HTML
              * XHTML is HTML defined as an XML application
              * XHTML is a W3C Recommendation

              Differences:

              * XHTML elements must be properly nested
              * XHTML elements must always be closed
              * XHTML elements must be in lowercase
              * XHTML documents must have one root element

                Again, the primary major differences of this two is the relative strictness of XHTML compared to HTML. While someone coding in HTML could get away with some lapses in structure and coding, that is no longer possible with XHTML.

                    XHTML is not so much different from HTML.

                    XHTML elements must be properly nested.
                    XHTML elements must always be closed.
                    XHTML elements must be in lowercase.
                    XHTML documents must have one root element.

                    Basically, XHTML is HTML (all the html tags are found in XHTML) that follows the rules of XML (because it is a family of XML).
