XHTML DTD
The most common DTD is XHTML Transitional.
<!DOCTYPE> Is Mandatory
An XHTML document consists of three main parts:
- the DOCTYPE declaration
- the <head> section
- the <body> section
The basic document structure is:
<!DOCTYPE ...>
<html>
<head>
<title>... </title>
</head>
<body> ... </body>
</html>
|
Note: The DOCTYPE declaration is always the first line in an XHTML
document!
An XHTML Example
This is a simple (minimal) XHTML document:
<!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>simple document</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>a simple paragraph</p>
</body>
</html>
|
The DOCTYPE declaration above defines the document type. The rest of the
document looks like HTML.
Document Type Definitions (DTD)
- A DTD specifies the syntax of a web page in SGML
- DTDs are used by SGML applications, such as HTML, to specify rules for documents of a particular type, including a set of
elements and entity declarations
- An XHTML DTD describes in precise, computer-readable language, the allowed
syntax of XHTML markup
There are three XHTML DTDs:
- STRICT
- TRANSITIONAL
- FRAMESET
XHTML 1.0 Strict
<!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
|
Use the strict DOCTYPE when you want really clean markup, free of presentational clutter.
Use together with CSS.
XHTML 1.0 Transitional
<!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
|
Use the transitional DOCTYPE when you want to still use HTML's presentational features.
XHTML 1.0 Frameset
<!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd">
|
Use the frameset DOCTYPE when you want to use HTML Frames to split the web
page
into two or more frames.

WAPT
is a load, stress and performance testing tool for websites and web-based applications.
In contrast to "800-pound gorilla" load testing tools, it is designed to minimize the learning
curve and give you an ability to create a heavy load from a regular workstation.
WAPT is able to generate up to 3000 simultaneously acting virtual users using standard hardware configuration.
Virtual users in each profile are fully customizable. Basic and NTLM authentication methods are supported.
Graphs and reports are shown in real-time at different levels of detail, thus helping to manage the testing process.
