Re: Content-type for XHTML (was: XMLC, setEnableXTHMLCompatibilty): msg#00027java.enhydra.xmlc
Hi David, At 09:15 AM 10/8/2003 -0500, you wrote: Should really need the Namespace declaration? Shouldn't the Content-type (not Ok, I think you are right here. One shouldn't have to provide the namespace. My previous argument is incorrect. Here is the definition for the <html> element... <!ELEMENT html (head, body)> <!ATTLIST <http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/dtds.html#dtdentry_xhtml1-transitional.dtd_html>html <http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/dtds.html#dtdentry_xhtml1-transitional.dtd_i18n>%i18n; id ID #IMPLIED xmlns <http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/dtds.html#dtdentry_xhtml1-transitional.dtd_URI>%URI; #FIXED 'http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' > Notice the "xmlns" attribute is "#FIXED". That means that, if provided, the value must be exactly that specified by the DTD ('http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'). However (and this is the kicker), if *not* provided, the DTD sets the default namespace for you. An article I found on the developerworks site was very helpful in clarifying this: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-tipfxatt.html Note the caveats mentioned there about using a default namespace, but I don't think that will affect most people. In essence, you are right that Mozilla should be picking up the default namespace when parsing an XHTML document (with the XML parser) which provides the XHTML dtd, without requiring it to be specified in the <html> element. Given this buggy behavior, you should probably provide it anyway and the overall solution that I documented in my previous email still stands. Jake
