Anybody that knows me, knows that I don't like anything Microsoft.
Let me show what I mean.
Go to this URL:
web page View the Source of the page.
At the top of the page you see this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/
xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title></title>
<xxxx name="generator" content="Bluefish"/>
This page is one that I wrote, the DOCTYPE says this page is XHTML 1.0 Transitional
I verified the code to be XHTML 1.0 Transitional
Also the line that says <xxxx name="generator" content="Bluefish"/>
Bluefish is the program I used to write the page.
Next using IE go to File > Save As and save the file in My Documents.
Now go to My Documents and open the file and view the source of the page.
You will see this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<!-- saved from url=(0053)http://firewalladdons.sourceforge.net/squidguard.html -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><HTML lang=en xml:lang="en"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><HEAD><TITLE></TITLE>
<XXXX content="MSHTML 6.00.2800.1529" name=GENERATOR>
Notice that the file has been converted from XHTML 1.0 Transitional to HTML 4.0 Transitional you can see
all the tags are in uppercase instead of lowercase.
Also notice that Generator tag has been changed from Bluefish to MSHTML 6.00.2800.1529,
and all you did was save the file. IE changed this for no reason it displays just fine.
There may be some others changes that are Microsoft only tags.
This is why I caution webwriters to beware of using Microsoft tools to write Webpages.
Not everybody uses IE.
