XHTML
September 3, 2002 09:31 AM
And finally to XHTML 1.0 Transitional. It was an enlightening experience. But still a long way to XHTML 1.1 and more so XHTML 2.0 . Well, I still have to port the archives to XHTML 1.0. I find XHTML 1.0 and CSS 2.0 to be a very good combination for html pages. The source looks clean and with just the flip of your css you can change the look and layout of the site. Here are a few links and tips for your benefit, if you decide to switch to XHTML (check this link again as Ill be adding stuff here) -

No, I have defined a custom MIME type on my server. It is an Apache directive. You'll need to login to the server and edit the .htaccess file in the root directory of web server.

Sachin,
Add this at the end of the .htaccess file on the document root of Apache -
AddType application/x-httpd-php nc

Deepak, We didn't actually meet. But we should do that. Why don't Mumbai bloggers meet? I see only Pune, Delhi and Chennai guys meeting up....
What do you think, Sachin?
