XHTML is a stricter form of HTML and as such is a subset of XML which is an extremely useful, powerful and very strict way of marking up pure data. The headers you sometimes see along with XHTML code declare what exactly the rules are..

for instance, that <a> is an anchor. In XML you can declare your own rules.XHTML is significantly better than HTML, as it encourages good practice. Where it doesn't allow things that HTML does, it's likely there's a good reason.. for instance
not using target="_blank". These things then in turn impact on the sites accessibility, consistency, search engine performance etc etc.

Some of the differences while coding XHTML are ...

Instead of <br> we'll use <br />

and for non closing tags like <img> we'll finish it up with <img />.

All the tags must be in small caps, properly nested and finally the tags must be closed.

Below is the mandatory XHTML elements

<!DOCTYPE Doctype goes here>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Title goes here</title>
</head>

<body>
</body>

</html>

About Website

A website, Web site or WWW site (often shortened to just site) is a collection of Web pages, that is, HTML/XHTML documents accessible generally via HTTP on the Internet; all publicly accessible websites in existence comprise the World Wide Web. The pages of a website will be accessed from a common root URL, the homepage, and usually reside on the same physical server. The URLs of the pages organize them into a hierarchy, although the hyperlinks between them control how the reader perceives the overall structure and how the traffic flows between the different parts of the site.

In addition, most modern browsers can present multimedia information, including sound and video, though they require plug-ins for some formats.

What is INTERNET?

The Internet is a standardized, global system of interconnected computer networks that connects millions of people. The system uses the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) standard rules for data representation, signaling, authentication, and error detection. It is a network of networks that consists of millions of private and public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope that are linked by copper wires, fiber-optic cables, wireless connections, and other technologies. The Internet carries a vast array of information resources and services, most notably the inter-linked hypertext documents of the World Wide Web (WWW) and the infrastructure to support electronic mail, in addition to popular services such as video on demand, online shopping, online gaming, exchange of information from one-to-many or many-to-many by online chat, online social networking, online publishing, file transfer, file sharing and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) or teleconferencing, telepresence person-to-person communication via voice and video.

How the Internet works?


One of the greatest things about the Internet is that nobody really owns it. It is a global collection of networks, both big and small. These networks connect together in many different ways to form the single entity that we know as the Internet. In fact, the very name comes from this idea of interconnected networks.

Since its beginning in 1969, the Internet has grown from four host computer systems to tens of millions. However, just because nobody owns the Internet, it doesn't mean it is not monitored and maintained in different ways. The Internet Society, a non-profit group established in 1992, oversees the formation of the policies and protocols that define how we use and interact with the Internet.
