it's the same as html but its just modyfied, it still has function, for loops, while loops, continues, arrays, and all the other stuff. Just fixed up the coding a little and gave some new types is all.
So this tutorial is misleading you to use old deprecated HTML code in a document with a XHTML Document Type Definition (DTD) and declares it's ok by using the Transitional DTD instead of Strict DTD. I suggest you watch the video response above, to see how setting colors is done in this century. :)
This tutorial teaches setting colors the HTML version 3.2 way, but BGCOLOR and TEXT attributes were deprecated in HTML 4.01 that became W3C recommendation on 24th of Dec 1999 - that's over 10 years ago.
But technically he's not wrong, because the HTML 4.01 Transitional and XHTML 1.0 Transitional DTDs both allow old deprecated presentational HTML code, but not the HTML 4.01 Strict and XHTML 1.0 Strict.
And the halomanalden's comment is wrong, because HTML 5 is newer than XHTML 1.1 (google it).
This is'nt hugely important but if anyone knows, could you please tell me, is he using regular note pad? If so how do I get my note pad program to switch to scripting mode like that so I can see the numbers in the left column?
he is using a program called notepad++ i have the program lol. Its free and you can use it to wright in any programing language you want. It is not a compiler but it is good for scripting.
There are no bgcolor and text attributes of body in XHTML.
"This is my body" will also cause an error in validation since in XHTML, it is not wrapped in a block-level element. It's also possible that your example will get a warning for not having a character set defined.
This is not XHTML. It's HTML < 4 with the wrong document type.
I still don't understand why people try to teach XHTML, but don't utilize CSS. You might as well learn how to install an analog TV antenna for all the use it will do you pretty soon down the road.
lol, dude, i dont know why r u even posting this stupid retarded common for. U didnt make any sense, and wat do u got against XHTML? if u like css, dont watch this, he got the css turt. too, why r u here 4? just to give an negative pointless common that makes no sense? ...

Just thought i'd state to everyone that in HTML/XHTML the word color is not spelled by the UK version. It is always spelled "color" !

notepad++. its just a notepad that formats your code easier to read, and colors keywords nicely so you can work faster.
