RE: XHTML [WAS: Grouping into a table (for vertical alignment)]

Sorry, this might be a bit off-topic.

No, xhtml elements must be in the xhtml namespace.

I think "must" is too strong a word.

As long as my HTML is well-formed, it is considered XHTML, right?



Instead of using a namespace, can I use a DOCTYPE to specify that it is
XHTML?

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";>

So I can modify my XSL to this:

<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" indent="yes"
doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"/>


Regards,
Daniel

  Ooops, forgot to add in:

  <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"
indent="yes"/>

  Ok, now its XHTML.


No, xhtml elements must be in the xhtml namespace.
If your stylesheet was generating a top level element in (any) namespace
then it would default to xml rather than html output so the above
encoding would not affect anything other than the encoding used.
Usually you want to put the  xhtml namespace declaration on teh
xsl:stylesheet element.
