What is the diferens beetwen HTML 4 And HTML whats the best there are more like HTML 5 .6 ech.?

Answer 1

HTML is HTML version 4.

The versions are standardized by W3 (http://www.w3.org).

HTML 4 was a defined standard in 1997, so to use older versions is not a great idea. There will not be an HTML 5 or 6. The latest version is XHTML 1.0 (and XHTML 1.1). It looks a lot like HTML 4, but has stricter rules for marking up code. XHTML must be coded like XML.

XHTML is the best to use because it can also be interpreted by any XML parser. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, all have code to handle errors in html, but some devices (like some cell phones, and who knows what else in the future) can't handle as many errors.

Also browsers follow recent standards with more consistancy. If you site is coded in proper XHTML and CSS (cascading style sheets), it will appear the same in Firefox, Safari, Konqueror, Opera, and Internet Explorer 7. IE 6 still has a few issues, but they are greatly improved in the upcomming IE7. Yes, microsoft is way behind the time with the current Internet Explorer.

Answer 2

HTML, as supported by current browsers is HTML 4. There have been HTMLs 1-3 which supported different tags and attributes.

The new version of HTML is actually called XHTML and is also pretty well supported. This version of HTML uses many of the XML conventions (all tags must be closed, all tags must be lower case, use double quotes (") around each attribute value, etc.).

The W3C is the organization responsible for the HTML standard, you can find out more about the various incarnations of the HTML standard on their site at http://www.w3.org/

Answer 3

HTML4 is the latest verison of HTML.
