With the Safari and the Gecko based browsers we, the web "professionnals" and semi-professionnals, finally had the hope to forget all vendor specific code/markup and use the standards for the good of everybody. Ok, namespaces obfuscate a bit the markup, but they are made to extend a basic language. I've read that that was easier for the Safari dev. team to NOT use a namespace, but personnaly I care more about the vendor specific mess they are introducing than about the complexity to use or not a namespace for them. Indeed, Dashboard, seems really cool. But damn ( include thousands of exclamation marks ), as Eric Meyer said, "[i]we just left that tag soup party[/i]". As good as these extensions may be, they should have their own namespace or DTD. [url=http://www.p01.org/] [img]http://poi.ribbon.free.fr/files/p01_ozoneasylum_sig_love.gif[/img] [/url] Loading...
