- yuhong 15y ago>Considering IE9 is one whole generation behind the other browsers Now consider how bad IE8 must be. It doesn't support some 10 years old standards, such as XHTML.
- viraptor 15y agoIsn't XHTML pretty much a dead end now? Since everyone went for HTML5 support, you can still make XML-compliant HTML5 pages and serving XHTML-compliant pages is a tricky business - is there any reason for IE to support it?
- yuhong 15y agoHTML5 has an XML serialization, often called XHTML5.
- Supermighty 15y agoIt doesn't matter if people use an XHTML syntax. As long as these files are sent from the web server using text/html, and don't kid yourself most of them are, then they are still rendered as HTML. The true benefit of using the XHTML syntax is that you can use XML tools (that might be part of an existing tool chain) to output and manipulate your pages before they are served.
