sadman1 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I can't get any of the w3schools xml examples to work in firefox. Is this a known problem? or just me!!E.g. http://www.w3schools.com/xml/tryit.asp?filename=cd_list doesn't show any data at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbrownii Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I'm not sure which page you went from to get to that particular "try it" page.Here is a quote from a page here->http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_data_island.asp With Internet Explorer, XML can be embedded into HTML pages in Data Islands. The unofficial <xml> tag is used to embed XML data within HTMLYou will also find some of the examples using javascript with xml use the IE only solution.<!-- The following comment should be ignored by all browsers that can't understand it!I personally thought I read somewhere that w3schools was for tutorials on things standardized by the W3C. I am constantly surprised to find so many examples favoring the NON-STANDAR IE way of doing things...-->OH WELL... the answer to your question as far as I know is that those things don't work in firefox because they don't exist in any specification other than Microsoft's ( just try to look through any of the html/xhtml specifications for an xml tag! ). It is NOT a problem with firefox! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
