parse mode for XHTML 1.0

Thu, 03 Apr 2003 04:07:49 -0800

Hi all,

I went trough files at mozilla.org trying to figure out, what is wrong with my application/configuration, but I just got confused.

I have a XHTML 1.0 strict formatted page. If I save this page with the 'xhtml' extension, I get a bit different rendering as with 'html' extension. The same thing occur, if I serve this page with apache as text/html or application/xhtml+xml (I suppose the extension is used to guess the mime type for files).

This is the beginning of my file:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='windows-1250'?>
<!DOCTYPE html
     PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
.... and so on

Looking into the Mozilla source (nsParser.cpp) I've made following observations:

1) In both cases aParseMode is set to eDTDMode_full_standards

2) if the mime type is text/html aDocType is set to eHTML_Strict, if mime type is application/xhtml+xml, aDOCType is set to eXML.

Is it possible this causes the different rendering? Is it intended behavior or a bug?

I hope this mail makes a sense for somebody :)

Thanks in advance

Pavel
