I have a project coming up in the very near future. It's for a company that is some kind of investment firm, and they have a *ton* of data that is tabular in form. They want to use tables *only* for the tabular data, and that's it - the rest is supposed to be in XHTML.
Now, I've been told my *my* boss that the client eventually wants to move the site into complete XML - not necessarily now, but in the next couple of years. So they want me to code the site in as strict XHTML as I possibly can. I have no problem doing this - I am aware, though, that if you use the XHTML 1.1 documentation, you should really serve the page up as an XML document using "application/xml" or something like that, and that many people who use XHTML 1.1 incorrectly serve up the document (I'm guilty of this in the past). I'm not sure what the exact semantics are on this, so pardon my "iffyness" here! Anyway, I'd like to have this site function and work properly with CSS and XHTML 1.1 - if I can even go as far as XML, I'd love to. Or, would you all stick with XHTML 1.0 Strict and let them work it up to XML themselves? I know when I've *tried* to do XHTML 1.1 (and serve it up as an XML doc) I get all kinds of weird errors and code things - it just seems so difficult. Have any of you done an XML site and had it display CSS (and HTML code) successfully? Where can I read up on this kind of thing? Everything I find when trying to Google it is either foggy in this area, or complete techno-babble and I can't make heads or tails of it. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated! It's kind of exciting to actually have a client that understands some of this stuff for once, and I'd like to make the transition as easy as possible for them. Plus, I've been wanting to try it out *seriously* but haven't had a real chance to yet. I think this is a cool opportunity. ~Shelly ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
