Re: [WSG] XHTML Basic 1.0
Peter, In looking for some other stuff on W3, I stumbled across this page http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-basic/ The DTD is "-//W3C//DTD XHTML Basic 1.0//EN" Anyone had anything to do with this? I hadn't heard of it at all (maybe I'm ignorant and should spend more time trawling the W3 site). We have supported it in Style Master since 2000 :-) One of the beauties of XHTML was/is that it was "modularised" As with CSS from 3 on, rather than being a monolithic standard XHTML was broken into smaller subsets, so that each could be developed independently of other chunks. XHTML Basic, as you are probably no aware, is a subset of XHTML, devised particularly for lightweight devices. I believe XHTML Basic + CSS Mobile Profile (a small subset of CSS) were supposed to be astandards basd way of replacing WAPML (or whatever WAPs htmlish markup language was) HTH, john John Allsopp :: westciv :: software, courses, resources for a standards based web style master blog http://westciv.typepad.com/dog_or_higher/ http://www.westciv.com/
RE: [WSG] XHTML Basic 1.0
Yer... XHTML Basic - the only time I've seen it used is in DENG (http://claus.packts.net/deng/, http://mozquito.markuplanguage.net/). Basically this is a light weight browser written in Flash. It supports CSS1 & 2, SVG, XForms, XFrames and XHTML Basic. So why basic & not strict or transitional - I guess these guys weren't keen to have to support all the features of XHTML when people only really use about 30% of it. The emphasis in DENG is that its very light weight - so this kind of makes sense. Basic is there to cater to this type of scenario.
