Yikes! I had no idea the center tag in html 4.01 strict is depreciated! I am a bad pony...

@administrator html is used to describe the document. To format the document, you're supposed to use css. Which, by coincidence, I am studying at this very moment. So yeah, most formatting tags and attributes (like center) are deprecated. Although, strangely, others (like b and i) aren't, even though they too can be achieved through css.

@puzzlemint I despise CSS. It made everything unfun. Now its more confusing with XHTML or HTML5. Oh well, going transitional on this one, since its really not that important.
-
@administrator I remember feeling exactly the same way. Last week. Then I started actually studying and now it's not such a big deal. Though I still have trouble with muscle memory trying to make me capitalize all my html tags, because that's the way I've been doing it since '96.

@puzzlemint I remember sitting in a computer lab writing out html and wondering the same thing. The crappy books I used either capped them or didn't. So I thought it didn't matter.

@administrator I first learned HTML by making web pages in Netscape Communicator's web page maker, then dissecting the results in Notepad. That's where I picked up my habit of using capital tags. Technically, in HTML, it doesn't matter whether or not tags are capitalized. XHTML uses lowercase because it's a type of XML. || The reason for using XHTML over HTML is accessibility, especially for mobile devices. A browser running on a PC has resources to spare on interpreting malformed pages, whereas a browser running on a cheap-mangoes cell phone is more likely to choke and die if it hits something it doesn't understand. || I only started brushing up on this stuff last week, and the transition's been surprisingly easy. Though in fairness, all I've done so far is read and take notes (XHTML1.1+CSS2-compliant notes). !techponies

@puzzlemint center is depreciated ---> ...uh oh. That's like the most used tag on any *html thing I type up. :p I'm also in the boat of "CSS is not so fun," mostly because I can never remember anything. The thought of b and i and such going away... *terror*

@administrator how can you possibly hate CSS!?! it's SO easy!

@nightwillow EXCEPT FOR THE PART WHERE IT ACTUALLY SUCKS.

@administrator :: I'm a CSS expert if you want to bounce ideas off me?

@administrator :: wut.jpg :: HTML tells a user agent what the data is - CSS tells a browser what it looks like. Ergo, you can't really separate the two unless you want everything black and white and in size 12 Times New Roman =3 :: Instead of <center></center> - use the following: <div style="margin:0px auto;"></div> ^_^
