Does XHTML support both internet and mobile phones browsers?
Thank youkathy painter said:Correct Doctype for XHTML is (choose as needed):
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd">
In addition, an example of code might be: instead of writing <BODY> or

What is XHTML Mobile Profile?
XHTML Mobile Profile is defined by WAP Forum, starting with XHTML Basic and
adding few elements and attributes from full XHTML 1.0 that are useful in
mobile browsers including additional presentation elements and support for
internal style sheets. XHTML Mobile Profile is a strict subset of XHTML.
This may or may not be what you were looking for but this page has more
information on it which may be helpful.
Happy coding.

The page www.scaiecat-spa-gigi.com/sv/valkommen.htmlIsofarro said:Step 1. Make sure your current stuff validates as HTML4.01 Strict and uses
stylesheets to suggest a layout.
Without this step there is no point in translating a page into XHTML.

validated as HTML
Why do you think that the
page should first validate as HTML 4.01 Strict to validate as XHTML
transitional?
Isofarro said:Get it valid as HTML4.01 Strict first.
Because XHTML complements the idea of well structured HTML. The whole point
of a redeclaration of XHTML into HTML is that it becomes easier for a
machine or script to process it using standard XML parsers. There's no
point in doing that when your XHTML is filled with presentational gumpf.
XHTML Transitional is meaningless and of no use to anyone - you may as well
stick with HTML4.01 Transitional if you are not interested in structured
HTML.
What are you seeking to gain from using XHTML Transitional (if anything)?
