As many of you probably noticed via the WASP web site, a new web site was

Now, I'm the first to admit that I don't know everything and graciously ask
for advice. When I looked at the source code, I saw all sorts of bizarre
mixtures of xml, html, and what seems to be cms placeholder information.
Could people describe some of these bits of code. Are they at all valid?
1. <content></content>
2. <table xmlns:RT=" http://www.europarl.eu.int/publication.engineRT"
xmlns:pe="http://www.europarl.eu.int/publication.engine "
xmlns:hp="ec.ep.webpub.refeur.service.publication.util.Utils"
xmlns:psa="ec.ep.webpub.refeur.service.publication.runtime.PublicationServic
eAccessor" xmlns:xalan=" http://xml.apache.org/xalan" class="alerttable"
cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" border="0" width="100%">
3. <contenu> </contenu> - I'm assuming this is the French equivalent of
content
4. <br xmlns:RT="http://www.europarl.eu.int/publication.engineRT"
xmlns:pe=" http://www.europarl.eu.int/publication.engine"
xmlns:hp="ec.ep.webpub.refeur.service.publication.util.Utils"
xmlns:psa="ec.ep.webpub.refeur.service.publication.runtime.PublicationServic
eAccessor" xmlns:xalan=" http://xml.apache.org/xalan"/> (imagine 25 of these
in a paragraph! :o )
Maybe it would be more educational if someone could describe how these tags
might have been built.
I'm assuming they are using a .net platform that has been horribly hacked.
Maybe I shouldn't throw blame immediately at .net, but I have noticed
similar things with them.
Should the CMS have translated all of the xml stuff into an action or
content? Is it just bad code?
Content is not a valid xhtml 1.0 transitional tag. Was it ever? Will it be
in the future?
Thanks
Ted
