[WSG] Embedding XML in HTML
Gday, I don't understand what's going on: 1. I cannot find any xml element in the HTML 4.01 standard 2. I cannot find any reference to the datafld attribute for span. (Other than being reserved for possible future use: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/sgml/dtd.html) Both of these are mentioned on this W3Schools XML tutorial site: http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_data_island.asp Is what the W3Schools site discusses as per the standards, and if so, where is it mentioned on the W3C? Kat NB. I am, of course, assuming that when W3Schools says HTML, it means exactly that, and not XHTML. *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
RE: [WSG] Embedding XML in HTML
Hi Kat, I you look at the article it states With *Internet Explorer*, the *unofficial* xml tag can be used to create an XML data island. Meaning this technique only works with Internet Explorer. According to the article: If you are running *IE 5.0 or higher*, you can try it yourself.. The example doesn't work in FireFox in other words. Too bad, it is a nice feature...

Ditto Both of these are mentioned on this W3Schools Insert obscenity due to their general level of quality being extremely low. XML tutorial site: http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_data_island.asp To quote that page: With Internet Explorer, the ***unofficial*** xml tag can be used to create an XML data island. Is what the W3Schools site discusses as per the standards No NB. I am, of course, assuming that when W3Schools says HTML, it means exactly that, and not XHTML. It would still be wrong if it was XHTML since it isn't in a different namespace. -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk/ *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
