The browser isn't picky enough when you tell him it's ordinary HTML. But you can't use the correct content-type because of the many users of Internet Explorer, who don't care either.

It's a good point you raise though!

Most of your XHTML mistakes aren't specific to XHTML, but to HTML. Perhaps you should learn HTML 4 first. Most of your XHTML mistakes aren’t specific to XHTML, but to HTML.

I've been using it for the past week and it's fantastic! What I like is that I can easily validate pages that aren't publicly accessible on the internet (such as on my localhost). It's also much more particular than the W3C validator which is also good! Mark, thanks for pointing me to that Firefox HTML Validator plugin! I’ve been using it for the past week and it’s fantastic!

It validates HTML on the fly and immediately shows the result in Firefox's status bar. Also, since it is built upon Dave Raggett's Tidy utility it provides a great way to tidy up HTML quickly. http://users.skynet.be/mgueury/mozilla/ I can highly recommend the use of the Firefox extension HTML Validator.

You can even omit whitespace, which helps with some display errors in some browsers. The Markaby template library for Ruby is also a great way to generate valid XHTML.
