Hi Gilles, yes, as long as you serve "XHTML" as text/html it is actually HTML with these slashes where they don't belong. Doctype doesn't matter at all, mime-type matters. For HTML the recommended mime-type is "text/html", for XHTML it is "application/xhtml+xml". Here's an overview with recommendations what to use when: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-media-types/#media-types If you use the text/html mime-type the browser will use its html (tag soup) parser for building the DOM tree. I'm using XHTML as XML on my site for instance. Go here: http://stilbuero.de, right click (with Firefox), choose "View Page Info" and you will see "application/xhtml+xml" at Type. IE doesn't support that mime-type though, that is why more and more people argue XHTML is dead and switch back to HTML. Googling "XHTML as XML" should give you tons of information on that topic. -- Klaus _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list [email protected] http://jquery.com/discuss/
