amame02 Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Hi, I am trying to save an XHTML page created by my application in IE and getting a pop-up message that "This web page may not save correctly. Would you like to save it anyway?" I saved the page and then ran it through xml validator and everything looks good in regards to well-formedness and validity. Can anyone tell me why I am getting the message? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amame02 Posted June 7, 2006 Author Share Posted June 7, 2006 The page is created by my application and I am trying to save it as .xml extension. I use File->Save As... on IE and as soon as I click on Save As... I am getting the pop-up message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boen_robot Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 XML files are a whole new sphere of web design. They are NOT a replacement for HTML, unlike XHTML. XHTML files must be saved with either *.html or *.xhtml extensions. As aspnetguy pointed already, IE doesn't support *.xhtml yet, so you would most certanly use *.html instead.As for why IE says this message... it's because XML doesn't define presentation, but just content, therefore, saving (X)HTML as XML would mean that the file would display as an XML source tree, showing you the data without the defined presentation. Read about XML, and you'll know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
