And c’mon. “Transitional XHTML” is just a fancy way of saying “not XHTML.”

Don’t be a pussy. Bring on the XHTML 1.1. :P

Yay for wordpress plugins breaking shit :-P It’s still a work in progress, man. I’ve got a bunch of dirty, dirty IE hacks in place right now too that I need to separate into a real stylesheet. Wish I didn’t have to do it that way but this template requires some fucked-up box model manipulation.

I’ll take care of it, don’t you worry.

This was a pretty good read.

I didn’t know about all that. If you wanna be ballsy, you’ll do that for your forum/blog.

In short, he explains how to properly serve XHTML (I’m assuming he just means XHTML 1.0 Strict and XHTML 1.1). Properly serving it to browsers that support it will cause the entire page to crash and display an error if there is a single problem with your XML structure.

I won’t be doing that to any client’s sites just yet, especially not if there is dynamically-generated content, but I’m changing over all of my own stuff just so I can stick my nose up at everyone. :D

Yeah I just don’t care about Validation that much though (obviously). I try to make sure everything validates in sites I’m building, but it’s overrated in my opinion.

Browser compatibility is the name of the game. The site should look and work the same in all browsers. Validating markup may help, but it’s still a long way from that.
