Subject: RE: necessity of html output was RE: [xsl] output method html doe snt work with namespace in source tree From: "Brinkman, Theodore" <Theodore.Brinkman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 18 Dec 2002 09:23:37 -0500 |
Well, <br></br> causes a double line break in a few browsers, so the ususal suggestion is to use <br /> (note the added space), which works just fine in Netscape 4.x and every other browser that I've tried. Note: Netscape 4.x doesn't actually crash on <br/>, but it doesn't see it as a line break either. - Theo -----Original Message----- From: bryan [mailto:bry@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, December 18, 2002 5:13 AM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: necessity of html output was RE: [xsl] output method html doesnt work with namespace in source tree > > Are there some particular browsers, html implementations, out there that > > will choke on <br/> for example? >Netscape 4.x, if that's a browser in your eyes ;-) well not really :), but I'm not sure if <br/> will crash in every Netscape 4.x? I suppose this just showed one of my many blind spots, since I tend to just work with xml to xml cases. When I do work with xml to html it's still xml to xml, I just use highly structured markup where the need for <br/> is abrogated or taken up by css control of the presentation, and tend to take care of stuff like metadata etc. either via dom manipulation, or to just drop it in favor RDF, i.e. I tend to workaround the problems, and my tendency to workaround is so ingrained I don't even realize it's a workaround until one of the nasty legacy problems smacks me in the head. Question: in the experience of people on this list working with less well known browsers is <br></br> more or less problematic than <br/>? Yes I realize there is not difference in them as xml, I'm asking is there a difference in how they affect your browsers as html? I suppose the main need would be for Forms, which admittedly I am not a big fan of forms, problems such as <option selected>, can be dealt with in newer browsers with <option selected="yes"> but I seem to remember that it's a problem in older browsers, I'd forgotten all about that particular problem. Brian Martinez mentions that textarea has problems in IE 6, if the output is meant to be legacy html then textarea should be <textarea>text inside of textarea here</textarea> anyway, shouldn't it?
