"GET" and "POST"
someone, someone pleeeeeeease tell me the difference between the two, simply and in english.
ty:nerd: |
GET means get somthing
POST means post somthin When you are useing them in a forum they shouls always be in CAPS! |
do u mean "forum" or "form"
anyway, putting them in caps is not true. in html 4.01, xhtml, or xml all tags and attributes should be all lowercase:) ty for replying |
I got the caps part from the maillite script thingy I used.. it said post must be caps.. sorry mabee just the script :)
|
"post" does not need to be in caps, I use it in lower case. By the way, it doesn't matter if your tags are in upper or lower case, just as long as you don't mix between the two in your document. They must all be upper case, OR they can be all lower case.
|
surely it wouldnt matter if u mixed caps and no caps for get and post cause you only use them once. but correctly is non caps. but seeing as browsers dont mind there will be no difference
|
ok i need to correct myself.
html 4.1 says should be CAPS. but... this is only readability. xhtml and xml is no caps.:nerd: |
For readability, I can see your point. But there is no right or wrong way to do it, just so long as you don't do this: "POst" or "pOsT". Most browsers will not recognize it. That's what I meant by mixing upper and lower case. I tried "Post" once and my browser didn't recognize it.

Hee Hee.
One thing I have always found nuts is that the W3C can cause these kind of debates by suddenly announcing on a whim that tags should be in capitals, Or if some XML developer says actually they should be in lower-case. Computers dont give a monkeys and neither should you. There is no right and wrong way to do stuff on your PC. As long as the damn thing recognises your commands then who cares. Hands up all those who actually put a version line in the top of there HTML code? If its not done then you havent written the code properly... Why? because somebody somewhere once said that it needs to be there or you are not a proper webmaster... bollox. Find what works for you and stick with it. I use lower caps in all my HTML and add tonnes and tonnes of REM tags so that I can follow what is going on in my code. Dammit I know of a geezer that doesnt even use <html> <head> or <title> tags and all his pages look great. Dont mix cases in one word though, Necromancer is right about that. |
