I was just wondering how many of you actually use upper and lower case letters in your coding. |

I've mostly always use uppercase when writing my Tags It was something I read when I first started learning html, that stated if you use uppercase, it makes it easier to see your tags and check if you've written code that has errors. |

if it needs to be capital it wouldn't be too hard to make a program go through and capitalize the stuff between the tags. |

In actuallity you should probabally use the lower case variation! Sound strange? The reason is, XHTML specifications require that your code be in lowercase. Now this does not mean much now but in the distant future (1 or 2 years) HTML browsers will be replaced by XML browsers, and from there you will need to declair that you are using XHTML and their specifications in order to have your code show up at all. |

I've always used lowercase...I like the looks better, and I hate fooling with the capslock key. XHTML compatibility is a plus too. |

i always use lowercase. its easier on the eyes when trying to read code. WHEN YOU TYPE IN ALL CAPS, IT REMINDS ME OF PEOPLE WHO ARE YELLING AND IT IS VERY VERY ANNOYING. i avoid caps. |

I use lowercase, I like it better... mostly because uppercase tags remind me of Netscape Composer :F |

I was going to ask the same question of the Doc WarMage. I'm reading a beginers book on XML, and no real usefull practice project has jumped out at me. I'm really not quite sure what to do with it, although I've been told by more than one person that it's the next wave to ride. |

The only thing that I have found it useful for is an easy way of parsing documents. It presents a clear an concise method to find different tags and to get information from them onto a document that I have. |
