The <html> tag

Definition and Usage

This element tells a browser that this is an HTML document.

Differences Between HTML and XHTML

The xmlns attribute is required in XHTML but not in HTML. However, the validator on w3.org does not complain when this attribute is missing from the <html> tag in an XHTML document. This is because "xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" is a fixed value and will be added to the <html> tag even if you do not include it.

Example

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>
</head>

<body>
...
...
...
</body>

</html>
