Why Xhtml Is A Necessity?

You must be thinking that why I am tucked with XHTML or designing only. In my last article I had talked about the evolution or birth of the language and its miracles. The effect and reach of this particular language is basically due to its predecessor HTML which was and still is very much live into memory of web developers, may be few designers too. These lines must be giving you the taste of my last article titled �Glimpse From: HTML to XHTML� .

But in this one I am making it different. I always love to write about the newbie sin the industry so that they can understand the whole concept. For experts of these languages there are many online tutorials and videos, but no attention is being given for new born.

XHTML refers to the Extensible Hyper Text Markup Language, mainly used for designing websites. W3C is an organization which has set some parameters and strict rules to use this language. All the coding of the respective website must be done according to the rules set by it. These rules are made to bring a consistency among all web pages on the internet. The coding of the pages is a big criterion for pages to run properly in different browsers.

A page coded in XHTML from any image format must run successfully in all popular browsers, at least. The coding of an image into XHTML/HTML/CSS markup is called slicing in web designing industry. These coding are done manually by most of the service providers. There must not be any use of softwares in converting the image format into XHTML or any other, other wise the quality of the image can corrupt. Almost all the service providers in the web designing industry claim to do coding manually and I believe, they do it as well. Manual coding gives a set of neat and clean code, which can be read by other if, wish to do so.

XHTML being a light weighted code loads a website faster and delivers better speed. So those who are browsing in low bandwidth can also surf your website without any loading problem. So ultimately XHTML makes your website more friendly with the end user.
