Are there any good websites or books that deal with cross platform XML? I'd
like to target Internet Explorer/Netscape Navigator 5 or later, as well as
Opera, possibly konqueror on Linux as well.
OT: I'm also looking for books and websites for cross platform XHTML and
DHTML.

Hi,
XML is inherently cross platform - thats why everyone is having a cow about
it just now.
If your wanting to target different browsers, then you are looking at using
the following techs at a minimum:
XML and XHTML (just a version of html that doesnt allow sloppy code). If you
were thinking about doing this for real you need to look at XSLT. Buy
altovas products and get some other decent web editor. I prefer the studio
MX suite from macromedia

That's typically a nonsequitor.
XML-based applications are commonly only implemented on one platform,
and for any given XML document, it is entirely possible that the only
application that has been written to use that document (DTD/schema)
runs on a single platform.
For instance, any of Microsoft's XML support has solely been written
for their Windows platform.
If you have a "BizTalk" document, it's more than likely that the only
place it's useful is when interpreted by a Microsoft BizTalk server.

Actually, it isn't - XML is cross-platform (but particular XML
applications may not be).
XML-based applications are commonly only implemented on one platform,
and for any given XML document, it is entirely possible that the only
application that has been written to use that document (DTD/schema)
runs on a single platform.
Again, here is the problem you seem to be having. XML is **not** the
application, it is the data format and the data format most definately
**is** cross-platform, even if the application software is not.
For instance, any of Microsoft's XML support has solely been written
for their Windows platform.
Also not true. For example, Microsoft Word (especially in later
versions) can write XML formatted documents rather than the
proprietary "DOC" format and I can (and do) read those in Open Office
on both Windows and Linux systems.
If you have a "BizTalk" document, it's more than likely that the only
place it's useful is when interpreted by a Microsoft BizTalk server.
BizTalk, to be blunt, is dead. It was only ever a Microsoft
proprietary method that tried (unsuccessfully ) to make parts of the
XML standard into "Redmond-only" versions, much as they did with Java,
browser Javascript and others.
This time, it failed and Microsoft have abandoned BizTalk.

If you want to use XML and be cross-browser, use XML on the server-side
and do a transformation to a cross-browser format (HTML 4.01 or XHTML
1.0). Btw, there is no Netscape Navigator version 5 release.

Hi there,
I don't have any advice on cross platform XML. XML is inherently cross
platform. The tools are not, though, currently.
For the PC the usual tool is XML Spy, www.xmlspy.com
For the Mac, there is ElfData XML Editor, from www.elfdata.com/xmleditor/
For Linux, I'm not sure.

True, even though the non-normative part explains in detail how to do it,
you're right, one can't depend on it. It's a given in XML. If it isn't declared as anything else and it isn't
UTF-16, it's UTF-8.
I can't argue with that. I'm afraid that comment of mine was a
more-general one, not specific to the XML context, but I failed to
make that clear.
It's clear now.
Actually, it's great to have a clear and unambiguous spec to cite. You are
right to be precise. That's the glue that holds us all together.
