  4. Re:Excellent idea! on An XHTML Tutorial That Does Not Assume HTML? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I think you are missing the point.
    HTML, XHTML mark-up are very similar and someone with a good grasp of HTML would be able to pick up the differences very quickly.
    Yes they both are mark-up languages used to create/display web page But how you go about creating web pages with the two are very different. Presently (most not all) html designers would use Dreamweaver to design a web page using table's for poisonings. font tag's to change size,face & colour. etc.

    Whilst those who prefer XHTML mark-up try and put the layout elements in to CSS.
    So how you go about creating /designing the pages are quite different.
    So teaching someone how to *design* a webpage using HTML is quite a redundant lesson.

    Even better than the website..

    A local copy.
    see http://www.php.net/mirroring.php for more info. Even function shortcuts work.
    i.e. on my machine http://www.php.dev/gzcomress would take me to the right page: http://www.php.dev/manual/en/function.gzcompress.p hp very handy if you know the function you want to use but need to check the user notes on.

    My local mirror is approx 25-30 meg.
    So it's a big, but worth it download even over dialup.. Once a week a cron job sync's me with new entries.

    You have missed out two of the best Editors for Windows, both of which have features he's looking for. Home Site Has FTP built in, syntax highlighting, you can map your files locally through Apache. You can Have Code Snippets of often used code. I think someone has added the PHP manual to the built in help (look at the contributed area on the Allaire website). Also there's Edit Plus which has FTP built in & syntax highlighting. I've been using this more recently, mainly because my laptop is only a Pentium 120 which is to slow for Home site. But Edit Plus still flys. Neil
