[WSG] XML Includes?
Heyas,
Still finding my feet with XHTML / CSS. I noticed that in Mozilla (well
through Eric Meyers new book) you can introduce your own tags (ie XML)
and basically in many ways can attach CSS to them (much like you would
with a simple old DIV)
In Internet Explorer this isn't the case? it ignores the tags / css?
eg:
mycontent
mycontent
window {
display:block;
left: 200px;
top: 200px;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
border: 1px solid red;
background-color: yellow;
}
Simple example, works great in Mozilla FireFox (heh go Mozilla) but
fails in IE? I'm using the doctype:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";>
with:
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US">
Anyone care to comment?

Mark (and Scott), not having noticed the original post I'm a bit out of the loop on this discussion, but the Xsl below does the transformation with the fewest of lines of code possible. http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> woric PS: If you need a Xsl transformation tool and are using a ASP.NET box try XsltFilter (http://xsltfilter.tigris.org). If you are using Linux there are lots of Xslt tools for apache and java.
Re: [WSG] XML Includes?
wouldnt you need to use the xml doctype if your using xml ?
or the xml prologue as its called.?

Re: [WSG] XML Includes?
Hi Scott, I can't explain what might be causing IE to choke (IE's internals are deep black magic to me :), but just so you know, there's not much point in including that doctype if you want to introduce non-standard tags. DTDs exist to define a set of allowed tags (and allowed attributes for those tags, and a whole bunch of other stuff) for an XML document. Introducing undefined ones makes a document invalid.

Re: [WSG] XML Includes?
Hey Scott The doctype that you are using: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";> doesn't contain the elements that you are using in your code: mycontent mycontent ...so your document is invalid. I'm not going to jump up & down about it must be valid or you will burn in the infernal pits for eternity, but I can say that if its not valid you're going to have a bastard of a time debugging it & working out whats a bug in your code & whats a bug in a browser. So how do you get this stuff to validate? XHTML's got a feature that allows you to specify your own doctypes to extend the default set of tags & attributes, or to override what is already there. I don't know a huge amount about this but some googling could turn up some useful stuff. The main reason why this feature has been discussed over the past year or so is that XHTML doesn't have a target attribute on tags so people have been tweaking doctypes to add it in & stay valid. But I'm pretty sure that in most cases creating your own doctype is not going to be the easiest or best idea. My gut feel is that a bit of XSL is probably more suited to what you are trying to do. Could you convert: mycontent mycontent into: mycontent mycontent using XSL? Cheers Mark (who will be in training until tuesday so don't expect any quick follow up). * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help *
