CDATA?

[Twayne]

Hi,

Probably another question I could answer myself if I only found the
right search term, but ...

I have in some code I'm studying/trying to learn:
------------------------
<style type="text/css" media="all">
/* <![CDATA[ */
body{font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:1.2em}
h2{text-align:center;color:#369}
....
....
..error{text-align:center;color:#f00}
/* ]]*/
</style>
----------------------

*WHAT* is the *CDATA?* All that section is, is a CSS setup at the top
of a PHP file and I don't understand why/what it's there /it's doing. I
deleted it and it seemed to make no difference, at least with my quick
tests, as I expected.
I see all kinds of posts on groups & forums about people having
problems with it, but nothing I can relate to my own case here. It's
one of those things that keeps getting curiouser and curiouser<g>.

Would anyone care to enlighten me?

TIA

hm, you did not try to Google for 'CDATA'
( http://www.google.com/search?source=...&q=CDATA&meta= )

because than you would have found:
http://www.w3schools.com/XML/xml_cdata.asp

and than you would NOT have asked:
*WHAT* is the *CDATA?*

4.8. Script and Style elements
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.8

This only affects documents that are delivered as real XHTML. But since
the world's most used "browser" still doesn't understand XHTML, almost
all documents in the Web are still served as HTML (even if some of them
claim to be written in XHTML).

In short: Remove it and don't worry. Or use an external stylesheet,
which is almost always the preferred way.

Ah, between your tip and link to the recommendation, not only is the
enlightenment upon me, but I have now the tools I need recognize many
more things in the future. And more reading to do now<g>.

Thanks much,

I don't take kindly to being called a liar by anyone, especially an

w3 were amongst the top finds in my searches; I always specifically
watch for them, and phpnet too. May I suggest you take your troll-like
abilities and waddle off over to that area over there ... if I have to
specifically detail each and every attempt at solving something to you
before you decide you will give what would probably be misinformation
anyway, I certainly have no need of you. Please punish be my never

I suggest you change your tune ASAP. Or find another place to get help.

This is not the first time you've asked questions which can be easily
found by googling. And Luuk didn't call you a liar - he was trying to
help you.

But I'm not going to try to help a snot-nosed twerp like you any more.
And with your attitude, it won't be long before no one else will, either.

So find some other sucker to do your searches for you.

I calls 'em as I sees 'em, sorry if that makes you feel slighted but
that's life. I'll continue to ask any question here I feel I actually
need help with and no amount of threats from you can change that. This
is far from the only source of knowledge on the 'net and one of the
worst I've seen for supposedly professional activity by its
participants.
As for "another place" I've chosen three I like and use in addition
to this ng.
It's also interesting that you claim to speak for the entire group;
which I know you do not.

>

If such answers were "easily found" by googling, then I would have used
those answers. It's curious how you lower-cased googling too; another
of your vagueries you're so proud of.
As for luuk, he did call me a liar regardless of how you choose to
comprehend it. You are not omniscient. Nor are you very smart.

>

And with your attitude, it won't be long before no one else will,

Make up your mind; earlier you said "if" and now you say that IS the
situation. Apparently your skin is very thin and you worry about guilt
by association a great deal more than is reasonable. You should address
that shortcoming.

>

Suckers such as you do not answer questions. You would be the one
that allowed yourself to feel like a sucker as opposed to being one who
is actually wishing to do anyone any good.
People like you are a dime a dozen on many supposedly knowledgeable
newsgroups and aren't there to help anyone but rather to compete with
what you see as your peers and that's all. You're high on rhetoric but
your motivations are less than wanting to be helpful in nearly all
situations. It occurs to me that such as you need to be noted and made
visible when the occasion calls for it.

Too bad, but you're no more indispensible than anyone else is, an errant
opinion/mistake made by many. Now had you or anyone else asked what I
DID use for search terms and where I did the searches, I'd have happily
answered you and likely taken your resulting advice gladly. That's
exactly what happened on the forum where I also asked this same
question, and after apparently trying same, the response was "Huh - you
are right", after which some reasonable explanations and discussions to
both my questions ensued.

I've said what I wanted to say, responded in kind as I am wont to do,
and have no more to say on the subject. You'll find I don't often
repeat myself and this is one of those cases. I say what I mean, and
mean what I say. Notice there are no threats, only responses in kind
here. I don't know you from Adam so I've no animosity or anything of
the sort toward you; the only net result is to know that my first
impressions were correct as far as your ng life goes.

Oh yeah, this is off topic.

Enjoy your Monday

Yep, and so do I. And you're acting like an idiot.

Sure, you can keep asking questions here. But keep up that attitude and
no one is going to be answering you.

As for "professional activity" - your comments are anything but
"professional". More like "sewer".

And no, I don't speak for the entire group. But idiots like you don't
get answers. That's life.

>This is not the first time you've asked questions which can be easily

As for luuk, he did call me a liar regardless of how you choose to
comprehend it. You are not omniscient. Nor are you very smart.

Gee, Luuk found the answer quite easily by googling. As were answers to
other questions you asked.

And I didn't see Luuk call you a liar. However, I do see an overly
sensitive idiot digging himself a huge hole.

>But I'm not going to try to help a snot-nosed twerp like you any more.
And with your attitude, it won't be long before no one else will,
either.

Wrong. I answer a lot of questions in this and other newsgroups.
You're the sucker for expecting people to spend their volunteer time
answering questions for an idiot.

People like you are a dime a dozen on many supposedly knowledgeable
newsgroups and aren't there to help anyone but rather to compete with
what you see as your peers and that's all. You're high on rhetoric but
your motivations are less than wanting to be helpful in nearly all
situations. It occurs to me that such as you need to be noted and made
visible when the occasion calls for it.

No, you're wrong. Idiots like YOU are a dime a dozen. Fortunately,
most of them don't last long here. They get tired of asking questions
and not getting answers.

Too bad, but you're no more indispensible than anyone else is, an errant
opinion/mistake made by many. Now had you or anyone else asked what I
DID use for search terms and where I did the searches, I'd have happily
answered you and likely taken your resulting advice gladly. That's
exactly what happened on the forum where I also asked this same
question, and after apparently trying same, the response was "Huh - you
are right", after which some reasonable explanations and discussions to
both my questions ensued.

I never said I was indispensable (sic). But idiots like you are.

And no, no one asked you what you used for googling. But Luuk did give
you an idea of what a good search term would look like.

I've said what I wanted to say, responded in kind as I am wont to do,
and have no more to say on the subject. You'll find I don't often
repeat myself and this is one of those cases. I say what I mean, and
mean what I say. Notice there are no threats, only responses in kind

the sort toward you; the only net result is to know that my first
impressions were correct as far as your ng life goes.

Oh yeah, this is off topic.

Enjoy your Monday

Yep, you've again shown what an idiot you are. Remember - YOU are the
one asking for help here. It pays for YOU to be more receptive to
suggestions.

Luuk was only trying to help you find the answer for yourself. But you
showed how big of a chip you have on your shoulder.

Maybe you didn't google at all - which is why you're so sensitive to his
suggestion? From some of the other questions you've asked here, I
really suspect that's the case.

You will find that in most technical groups that the standards are
higher, actually the standards are normal.

If you want someone that really knows what he (she) is doing to help
you, you have to do your homework.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...=Google+Search

Any of the comp.lang groups will slap you down for being OT or lazy.
This (and comp.lang.javascript) is actually one of the most tolerant.

So, buck it up and take it, or you'll be left with only the wannabes
answering your posts when you have a tough question, instead of this bit
of fluff you've tossed out.

Hell, I don't even know you and you've irritated me!
