What's coming in XHTML 2.0. Mark Pilgrim has written an excellent introductory tutorial -- the first of several to come -- that is ostensibly about elements dropped from XHTML 2 (and what replaces them). But the piece works equally well as a general primer on how to make the transition from old-school presentational markup to modern, structural stuff. We've bookmarked this piece and look forward to reading next month's follow-up. [Zeldman] From the article... There are several key elements and attributes that are slated to be dropped from XHTML 2. <br /> has been dropped, replaced by <l>...</l>. The inline style attribute has been dropped, but there are still plenty of ways to define styles. <img /> has been dropped, replaced by <object>...</object>. As we'll see in next month's article, this may present some serious migration difficulties. HTML forms have been dropped, replaced by XForms. This is such a major change that it also deserves its own article. [Raible Designs :: We Build Web Apps] 2:09:06 PM    trackback []     Articulate []
