Crazy talk my arse! ;-) I've used XML with HTML and CSS to drive several commercial products I've developed. So long as all tags are correctly terminated it makes sense to use XML; where do you think XHTML came from?
XML is, by nature, a portable document that can be used and interpreted by other programs. You only use CDATA as a last resort as it can be a real pain to process in some other languages. Flash Player doesn't even recognise CDATA nodes as a type; only element and text nodes. With XML, you know the structure of the document you're working with as it is defined at some point. If I know that all data inside my content element is XHTML then I only need to fetch its contents or rather its child nodes. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Geoff Stearns Sent: 10 August 2006 17:31 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] HTML in XML this advice is all crazy talk. the proper way to do it is to use CDATA tags.
