First of all, let me clear. There used to be no standard to make website before. People made standard to orgamize this web world better. But new browser doesn't work well to show old HTML's. A clever man introduced DTD to solve this problem. Using DTD, people can make web site without any problem. What I am wondering is that there are so many web site without DTD. It seems to be built HTML, not HTML. But still looks all right. I don't know what you mean that old web pages are being broken. And also, does that new standard mean XHTML? You said that Microsoft and Netscape made new standard. Lastly, does latest browser doesnot support HTML properly without DTD anymore? You said following: [quote]An important thing to realize is that no one should have ever made a page without a DOCTYPE. There is no HTML standard that doesn't require one. If one writes a page without a DOCTYPE, there's no reason the browser should do anything with it - the browser has every right to simply say "your page isn't written in a standard language, so i'm not going to display it." The fact that browsers display it at all is just to be nice.[/quote] I think there are so many many web site without DTD, a? Newer browser does show hard work properly only when putting DTD on it. I will keep it in mind. Thanks for sharing your time. I really glad to hear and learn from you. Further advices, I would be greatful. Cheers. Hiroki Kozai Loading...
