2007/5/23, Laurens Holst: > Doesn't IE have XML Data Islands that offer this functionality? > > I don't know how they work exactly, but… That also came to my mind at first read (actually it was more about the cross-browser "XML-Script" they made for their AJAX framework) but Dmitri's talking about Web Forms, so maybe he's talking about moving data towards the server too? That being said, the XML-Script feature I'm talking about above is used by http://ajax.asp.net and consists of putting XML inside a CDATA element, namely <script>. See <http://www.nikhilk.net/AtlasXMLScript.aspx> for an example. The XML "island" is entirely parsed with JavaScript (except if used in application/xhtml+xml in an XHTML-aware browser). Although flagged with "parse errors", such "scripts" are correctly parsed by the algorithm from the current HTML5 draft. -- Thomas Broyer
