boen_robot Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 XML is not a programming language. It doesn't have conditions, variables, loops or anything like that. Other languages are supposed to interpret it. In that other language, you could read one part as a condition, and based on it read another part in a different fashion.

sat88 Posted October 6, 2011 Author Share Posted October 6, 2011 ok...I understand what you said me and I saw that doesn't use conditions etc...In same cases I found that you can use a language as an attribute and to have the opportunity to write a condition...with <![CDATA[ but I dont know how and that's why I asked for this...do you know something on this...? Thank you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synook Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 CDATA doesn't have anything to do with conditions — http://www.w3schools.../xml_cdata.asp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
