I've used Dreamweaver for a year or so .. have some decent sites up .. and now understand that I need to get a better handle on coding. If I have a choice of taking an online course for HTML .. or XHTML .. which should I take? And why?

Thanks

Well xhtml and html 4.0 are nearly identical, Xhml is just html code that is cleaner and xml compatable, I suprizingly enough suggest taking a html online course because I believe that it would be easier to learn and after learning it xhtml could be picked up quickly, while if you start off with xhtml it may be overwhelming.

Although most have advised that I go right into XHTML, that's sort of what I was wondering .. if would be easier to do it in steps. Thanks for the input.

I would advise you to go for xhtml.
It is ostensibly HTML 4x but stricter. This way you get in to good habits from the start and, because of its strictness, its actually easier to learn and implement the aspects that create the results HTML has been doing up to now.
You can then build on your knowledge to learn the areas specific to xhtml.
