Is XML, DHTML, and XHTML are all the same thing?

[Mentos]

Most of the time I get confused whether XHTML, DHTML and XML are the one and the same thing, we look at the logic behind each of these programming language they are almost same same but still they have different syntax all the way, and they are not the same then what things make them different please let me know.

XML separates data and display, you need a browser which supports XML and the Extensible Hypertext Markup Language, or XHTML, is a markup language that has the same depth of expression as HTML, but also conforms to XML syntax. Call it a bridge to XML. DHTML does not need the server support like PHP does. DHTML is integrated in the HTML page and needs browser that support DHTML. The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a general-purpose specification for creating custom markup languages.

XML is a way of representing data inside tags. You can define your own tags and structure, so long as you describe it. If you are going to focus on programming for the internet you will also want to learn the web basics first which include (x)HTML, CSS, JavaScript. It's really a server side thing, but there is some limited client support too. All the three are used for web development. Xhtml is advanced version of HTML, defined as an XML Application.

XHTML is just "HTML 5". It's a more structured version of HTML, which sits nicely with the XML structure of things. HTML goes first because its easy then XHTML (its almost the same thing). CSS and JavaScript would be the next thing to learn, and if you want to continue learning web related scripting languages then I would suggest learning PHP and MySQL after words.It is very easy to translate an XML document into an XML documents (and visa versa) using another technology called XSLT.
