    Default Newbie question

    I'm new to coding in HTML ( not computers-16 yrs there). I see a LOT of new info to learn. Current question=What version HTML to write in for current sites; 4.01 or 5?
    I know older stuff (boxes & software) will work with 4.01 but I don't code anymore for 800x600 and think 5.0 for the same reason. Any comments?

    Err, the majority of people in this internet uses HTML 4.01. Newer browsers, such as IE8 and FF3 use HTML 5.0

    IE8 is in beta isn't it?
    Has Fx3 gone beta? I thought it was still in Alpha Testing.
    but as Tech_Support said, most people "knowledgeable developers" use the HTML 4.01 Strict DOCTYPE when coding for the web.

    I know older stuff (boxes & software) will work with 4.01 but I don't code anymore for 800x600 and think 5.0 for the same reason. Any comments?
    Screen resolution shouldn't matter. If you use percentages, your page will be viewable to all regardless of their screen res.
