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 will lose a mark.
I disagreed (because it makes the source hard to read) but he said
you need to so that you can conform to HTML 4.01.
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 that the source code has become difficult to read
using that method.
James,
I think you're right to disagree, particularly since HTML 4.01 does
not specify case (and besides the fact that HTML 4.01 is suppose to
be the precursor to XHTML which *does* specify case for code).
Ironically I used to code entirely in uppercase with the rationale
that it made the code easier to differentiate from content.
I would base my argument on the specifications of XHTML which is the
newer, more modern DTD. Why train ourselves to use outdated methods?
My .02.
