The freeway manual recommends setting output to HTML4.01, does this still stand as the manual was written March 2010
Anyone know the real benefits of outputting with XHTML
Thanks

Frankly, it doesn’t make any difference at all which one you use, unless you are integrating your Freeway output with another developer’s dynamic code (PHP or Ruby or the like) and that developer has decreed one or another. Whichever one you choose, Freeway will take care to generate VALID code at that particular HTML level, so it doesn’t really matter what that level is.

PS: There are some schools of (fairly pedantic) thought which say that unless you have decided to serve your XHTML under an application/xml MIME-type rather than the normal text/html MIME-type, and thus cut out all forms of Internet Explorer entirely from your audience, you should not use XHTML at all. This has always struck me as slightly (no, really) reactionary and dumb. I use either XHTML or HTML5 with XHTML syntax because I like the way it looks and I’m used to reading it. But then when I’m doing that, I’m neck-deep in the code using a text editor. Freeway exists to free you from all that.

Thanks Walter, I was almost sure it would be you who replied to the thread.
The reason I asked the question was that I had a site analyzed by silktide.net and they picked up on the old form of HTML I was using as a negative, I couldn’t see the relevance.
Thanks again.

5.61 Pro :
there are 3 text boxes across my page. (very basic) all identical and made with the glorious Blue Button “on”.
i have “flowed” text from #1 to #2 to #3.
this all works swimingly. i love it.
so : when i get all done, i then apply the magical RPL action to the page. … ?
right ?
eh ?
thanks…

Remember that this flow that you see only exists in the FW doc - on publish FW creates three separate text boxes and in the online version there is NO flow.
The feature is really there to help you structure your page.

so : if i make a graphic item. a box if you will.
and then i drop a picture into this box. and then i fit the picture to the box and all is good with the world.
…
later on, i decide that i want to change to a different picture.
question:
if i simply plop pic #2 on top of pic #1 (which seems to work great ! ),
am i increasing my upload size by really having two pics one atop the other ?
— yes ?
— no ?
i perused the books on this subject and did not find myself clear answer.

IF you drag and drop the second image from the Finder directly into the graphic box in Freeway, then no. A graphic box can only hold one image at a time.
BUT if the second image is already in Freeway and you just move it to sit on top of the first graphic box, then yes. Both boxes are still there, each with their own image.

I found this thread while searching FreewayTalk today.
It’s now July 2015 and my sites still use HTML 4.01 Transitional. If I merely switch the HTML level to HTML5, without adding any HTML5 specific goodies, I know Freeway will do its best to maintain the page layout and structure. But will I see incompatibilities galore in Actions and/or my markup? And would merely switching my existing sites to HTML5 mean IE8 users will see a mostly broken page?
The reason I am even pondering a switch from HTML4 to HTML5 is because a lot of what I read about “Structured Data” seems to suggest that one should be using HTML5 for that. There are 3 methods that Google seems to accept:
But I cannot find any definition resource that plainly says, “you must use HTML5 with Structured Data.” Do any of you know?

I keep HTML5 as a standard ever since Freeway let me to, I’ve never come across projects where I needed to use otherwise.
