Subject: RE: Why Doesn't IE5 use the DTD to Validate? From: "Didier PH Martin" <martind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 1 Apr 1999 20:10:44 -0500 |
Hi Chris, <YourComment> Granted. But if it is complete, and the user believes that the instance is valid because "it displays fine in IE" and "IE is a validating parser" then that is a problem. </YourComment> <Reply> I know that you know the difference but IE is a browser with a primary intent to display documents not to validate them. Idem for Mozilla. IE uses a parser which is a component that could parse document with validation or not. IE (the browser) uses this component with a non-validating mode. So we have to make the distinction of the parser and the browser. The same consideration will occurs in some months with Mozilla. Several modules could be used as XMPCOM components like IE is using its COM parser component. We have to make the distinction between a parser's client (the browser) and the component itself. </reply> Regards Didier PH Martin mailto:martind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.netfolder.com XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
