Is it bad to use uppercase letters for html tags?
What is the best practice? <HTML> or <html> And why we should stick with one particular case? However all browsers seems to interpret both cases and returns the expected output. Spudley The lower-case "requirement" is a legacy of xHTML, which explicitly required it. Plain old HTML on the other hand does not follow the rigid struct requirements of XML, and does not therefore have the fixed requirement for use of case However developers have tended to stick with lower case as a convention anyway, mainly on the grounds that it's a lot easier to read when you're working on it, and easier to type.
