Hello members,

Lets say we had source code form a web site with no statement about the doc type. How can you determine if it is coded in DHTML or XHTML.

I do know what HTML look like. I thought asking in this form instead of "What's the difference between..." because I know DHTML is Dynamic HTML and XHTML is Extensible HTML. But how do you tell the difference between them. Is it just a means of stating the doc type? I'm lost :)

thanks.

DHTML is a mixture of HTML, Javascript and CSS. Its not really a classification on its own like XHTML is.

XHTML will be noticable if you see single tags with endings in them like... <br />. There is still regular HTML, Javascript and CSS coding in XHTML as well too.
