Silly question about XHTML

musosdev

I think I'm having a dim day and should just go back to bed, but alas, I cant
do that....

I'm writing a peice of code to create XHTML compliant documents using
System.IO, there's probably an easier way but anyway... my code works fine,
and it saves a file as an XML file. If I load this in IE, I get the xml
code!! (rather than the page it should generate). If I rename the file to
..xhtml, IE wont load it and I get the "choose program/service" dialog.

What am I doing wrong!?

Cheers, Dan.

Here's the generated xhtml..

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>Test XHTML Page</title>
<link rel="stylesheet " type="text/css" href="test.css" />
</head>
</html>

I think you may be simply misunderstandin g what IE would do with a file with
an extension of xml. It will load it and parse it as xml. If you try the
same document with an xml extension in firefox you will find it is displayed
as xhtml.

Try the document with an htm extension and it will load into IE perfectly.
If you want to keep it as a file with an xml extension then your going to
have to format it with an xsl stylesheet rather than expect the thml parser
to pick it up.

Cheers John, that makes a lot more sense - can you point me in the direction
of any tutorials on XSLT stylesheets?

>> Quick question about Favicons

Something strange is happening, but I bet it is a quick fix. My favicon image is showing up in the URL bar, for a couple of seconds, but then it disappears and the default browser icon is displayed. When I reload the page, the same thing happens. The correct icon appears for a few seconds (while the page is loading), but then goes away. You can see that here: http://webdev.ucop.edu/tltc_ph2/index_icon.html

XHTML Problems

These pages are then loaded on to their Server where they are served to Rendering Agents (browsers) as HTML (SGML application) documents with no...

XHTML 1.0 / 1.1 / 2.0

I read this in http://annevankesteren.nl/2004/12/xhtml-notes "A common misconception is that XHTML 1.1 is the latest version of the XHTML series. And although it was released a bit more than a year later then the first version of XHTML 1.0, the second edition is actually newer. Furthermore, XHTML 1.1 is not really the follow-up of XHTML 1.0" I thought that XHTML 1.1 was the follow-up to XHTML 1.0 and that XHTML 2.0 will someday be the...
