Re: Update ARIA Examples: Live Regions and Tab Panel

Yes it's fine to serve XHTML to Firefox.

By "prefers" I meant something different -- that there was a technical 
change in how it interprets the http-accept header. If the page can be 
served either way Firefox will actually ask for HTML. Apparently the 
incremental rendering works better then, or something like that.

The community does probably prefer HTML over XHTML as well. But, there is 
nothing to stop anyone from using XHTML mime type.

Re: Update ARIA Examples: Live Regions and Tab Panel






Thanks, Aaron. In that document it states that Firefox prefers HTML to
XHTML - if I have a doctype of XHTML 1.1, it should be served as
application/xhtml+xml. Is it still okay to serve that to Firefox?

Thanks,

Gez
