Re: [Dynapi-Chat] XHTML

[Cameron H. <ca...@bi...>]

If you specify an XHTML doctype and your HTML is not XHTML compliant you 
may get unexpected results in browsers that adhere to doctype 
definitions (like NS6 and IE6). Currently the DynAPI doesn't use XHTML, 
in fact some of the dynapi code isn't even HTML 4, things like script 
includes must have a type attribute (which is missing in the DynAPI 
include function). Doesn't seem to matter for the moment, but I think 
doctypes will start to make a difference in the near future. I think the 
API should move to being XHTML compliant myself, there are some cool XML 
features in newer browsers for doing things like loading remote XML 
documents (that includes XHTML) which may provide much better 
functionality than things like LoadPanel.
