Help
Hi
I had my webste all sorted out for my assignment. I just read something maybe I should have noticec a while ago!
My website was HTML 4.0 and i've now had to change it to XHTML 1.0.. this has caused me 37 errors all of which I have to sort out for my assignment. Problem is, i dont even know where t start because i have no idea what half of them are!
Ive tried changing them but its messed it up more lol.
Can anyone help? x
Update:
Ive sorted some of the HTML out and got it down to 13 errors! phewwwf!

Strict will pass as transitional, just swap the doctype.
Transitional is just a more relaxed version of strict.
It's html and xhtml that have there differences, mainly the self closing elements />
So change
To this
And it should be fine (:
