XHTML is HTML all grown up with standards and rules enforced. at its most basic:
1) nested tags must be nested properly. e.g. <strong><em>foo</em></strong>. 2) all tags must be closed. e.g. <li>this is a list item</li> or <option value="foo">this is an option</option>. tags can be self-closed if there is no data (such as <br /> as opposed to <br><br />). 3) all tag attributes must be enclosed in quotes. e.g. <img src="foo.gif" />. <img src=foo.gif /> won't fly. 4) all tag attributes must be lowercase. if you use onClick, get used to onclick. 5) no shorthand notation. e.g. <option value="foo" selected="selected"> as opposed to <option value="foo" selected> i think that covers most of the differences between XHTML and HTML really. why use it? because it's a standard...and i say so :) what is needed to use it? whatever you currently use to write HTML.
