Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
with the html 5 doctype?
And is it true that HTML5 doctype will force browsers to standards mode? If so, we should then begin developing with it right? |
Yes, with the html5 doctype you can use both the "loose" and the more strict syntax.
html5 will set any current IE browser to render in standards mode so nothing is stopping you from using it right now. Any advantages? yeah the much nicer doctype declaration :)
It's a long way there and is a process so to stay crossbrowser pretty much nothing has changed. |
