Valid HTML or XHTML 1.0, 2.0(strict)

HTML standards were developed to make it easy to share and process electronic documents regardless of the type of device, computer platform or operating system used. Using valid HTML is the first step to creating accessible pages. Valid HTML pages are pages that adhere to a set of rules defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Why build web sites using valid markup?

• Today's browsers largely support HTML standards; both Netscape and Explorer have committed themselves to supporting the W3C standards.
• According to The Web Standards Project, supporting incompatible browsers adds an average 25 percent to site budgets.
• invalid markup affects document portability, interoperability, and the future value of your content .
• When developing sites using CSS, invalid HTML, like overlapping tags and unclosed elements, will produce unpredictable results.
• Standards based web sites are likely to be more accessible. If you are focusing on making your pages work on just one specific browser, you may be locking out surfers with special technologies, or alternative browsers.
• Most current and past browsers will try to interpret invalid HTML, but there is no assurance that next generation browsers will be as forgiving. Organizations risk making their documents obsolete by not ensuring that their web documents adhere to the HTML specification.
• By working to the HTML specification you make it easier to transport HTML documents to others for revision and re-purposing.
