whats different between html 4.01 loose and strict

Post by xudzh »

I am looking to use either one of those to make my pages standard:

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
However I don't know what's different about them. All I found is that the strict version doesn't support "presentation attributes and elements" but I have no idea what they are. Can anyone help me please?

The second link is about *X* html, which is not what the OP asked for.

The first link, however, is gold. The paragraph describes the tags that have been removed, and summarizes the differences in understandable phrasing. :)
