It's a pain. We all know that.

But do you at least -try-?
 
it's a pain to.. close tags? o.O

as far as I know everything I write is XHTML-compliant, although I haven't bothered checking in a while.
 
It is a pain converting old stuff to compliant code. I always wrote <br> which isn't compliant, and I didn't use the alt in images... nor did I close the images. My headers rarely made any sense... and blah.
 
oh, I don't think I have anything old floating around anymore o.o
 
I didn't start doing any XHTML compliant stuff until like... 2 months ago. And I've been a webmaster for 2 years :S
 
When I learned HTML, I learned HTML 4. So it's a pain trying to make myself use XHTML, and I just started even using a bit more XHTML compliant coding. I still use <br> tags and I have trouble remembering to put alt in images though... x.x

You're supposed to close image tags? o.o'
XD
 
<img src="image.gif" alt="blah"> isn't correct
<img src="image.gif" alt="blah" /> is
 
I don't see what's so hard about it. :| Is it that difficult to go <br /> instead of <br>? I mean, remembering it if you haven't done it can be difficult, but I don't see why people don't use it.

I always make mistakes in coding anything though, but I run it through the checker to fix anything that's problematic.

EDIT: Oh, and I just remembered, I saw a preview of the XHTML 2.0 standard a few weeks back. The <img> tag had a nice run, but its days are over. This will be the correct method of including images IIRC.

<p src="image.png">ALT TEXT</p>

XHTML2 is still waaaay out in the future. the src-on-any-element thing seems like a colossal kludge to me (we do have the <object> tag!) so I doubt it will remain indefinitely.

and I don't even put a space before the closing slash on an empty tag :/
 
I TRY to be XHTML compliant, but I don't care enough to actually double-check to see if I am. As long as the crap shows up, I consider it a success. But then again, I don't use any complex coding.
 
I am not yet XHTML Compliant but I will be in the near future. It's just that I use <br> tags in a lot of my pages and it seems a pain in the rear to change them all over again and PGS has something like 80 pages. :p.

P.S :: Greg, I fear you've missed out a lot. Only your main splash page is HTML and XHTML Compliant. Your inner main pages like Sunnyday.php, etc have as much as 38 Errors when I ran them through Validator.

PV is so far from it. You should've seen the coding before I got the site. It's a lot clearner now.

Before I bought it... you would've froze the validator from the number of errors :S

You mean PV was not made from scratch by you. ^~^. I never knew that.

Anyway, half of your errors are due to silly mistakes in the code like not closing a <center> tag and so on. You should really take the time to make all your pages HTML Compliant too. Atleast your main layout pages. It isn't good to say "100% Valid HTML" in just your splash page.

When I became a webby @ p706 I had to learn XHTML, I am used to using basic XHTML

No, I bought the site like a year and half ago from Jeremy of '706 :p That was back in the good ole webbie days :D

The splash page was mainly a joke. XD And I've been slowly working at making my older sites compliant. PV is on the backburner big time though.
 
Well, I'll admit I don't *really* try, just because I can't be bothered XD. But I have to when I'm editing the university anime club site, the president (who was last year's webby) would yell at me if not.
 
Right now I'm not too worried about it~

but PaulHQ will probably end up being XHTML 1.1 trans compatible sometime >>;
 
Going from HTML 4.01 to XHTML 1.1 was really easy actually.
 
I pretty much just have to change my STYLE and close my tags~ Possibly change my tables too.
