: RE: [WSG] Uppercase Tag Names
As a fellow Uni student, I would do it in lower case with plenty of
references to back my decision up. As long as you have references, you
shouldn't lose marks. Check it out with your lecturer if in doubt though.

I think this a case of someone reading far to deep into the specs. I
didn't really want to argue with him because he assumes I know nothing.
I do know
Seems like a common issue of out dated methods being taught. Feels
free to pass the lecturer in question to me. I'd be quite happy to
discuss it with them. Also feel free to point your school towards the

I am at university at the moment, and they said to use uppercase text for
tag names and lowercase for attributes. I have to do it because otherwise I

Hi James,

That's a shame they're enforcing that. In HTML 4.01 either upper or
lowercase is acceptable, but uppercase usage isn't forward-compatible into
more
Write you markup in lowercase then parse it with a regex into
uppercase before you hand it in.
Really the uppercase is fine just bad style especially if you're
moving on to XHTML.

Hi James,
While not a good practice, there may be the ulterior motive of the teacher to
get you used to conforming to other people's standards. In the workplace, you
will have to do this too - you may find yourself in similar situations, where
you have to maintain legacy systems, where
it's irrelevant according to HTML 4 how you write the tags, so on one
front, your instructor is ok to say you should code that way (as it
does conform) but you have every right to say that he's *incorrect*
when saying you need to so that you can conform to HTML 4.01. Tough
spot to voice
It's no wonder students are coming out with such strange ideals. Tell
him WSG says so.
Regards,
Anthony.
