XFrames, XForms... what's next? XTables?

[Mr Initial Man]

One thing I've noticed about XML is that a lot of stuff originally handled by HTML is now handled with something else. Frames have become XFrames. Forms have become XForms. I was wondering if tables are next in line...

Almost (http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml2/mod-tables.html#s_tablesmodule) but not quite. :)

:eek: Shock! Horror! Pants! :eek:

Ahem...



You will not use profanity in our forums, and will neither post with language or content that is obscene, sexually oriented, or sexually suggestive nor link to sites that contain such content.

*Starts talking like a crusty old prude* If I have to take the link to my own website, then I'm going to compensate by being a complete stickler. Hmph! :mad:

...

One of these days I'll learn to hold a straight face. :D

Personally, when it come to displaying content on the web, I don't care. So far good ol' HTML 4.01 still works fine for me. All I use XML for is the transfer of data between web apps. Just call me old fashioned and stuck in the 1990's, I guess. :p

[Stephen Philbin]

Well I guess that makes me stuck in the '90s too; despite the fact that I only started this stuff after 2001. :D

I play with XML in different ways, but I mostly use it for data transfer when I'm not just playing with it.

Oh and could ya put more of yer XML threads in the XML forum please MIM? Not being and arse or anything. It's just that--y'know--that's what we have it for. :p I know the place ain't exactly heaving with readers, but a more consistent supply of decent threads and posters there might help to change that. ;)

[Mr Initial Man]

Sorry. I thought that the XML forums (and all other forums) were just for questions and answers, not for natterage about the various languages. :o

[Stephen Philbin]

Heh. Well much of your recent threads have been pretty much entirely XML based, so they'd have been better suited to the XML forum rather than the lounge. I don't consider the rest of the forum restricted to a problem/solution basis; I think that threads like the ones you've posted recently would have made for interesting reading for people visiting the XML forum to try and learn something.

I reckon quite a few people probably would have found them interesting and helpful. ;)

[Mr Initial Man]

Don't moderators and super moderators have the permission to move threads to appropriate forums?

I'm sorry, I honestly thought that THIS was the only forum for nattering, even if it was about HTML, CSS, etc.

[Stephen Philbin]

Yeah. Anyone can move the thread, but I prefer not to move a thread if it's already pretty much established and could easily live at either location. No need to be sorry though. I was just trying to ask without coming across as a bit of an arse. Like I said, some folks that might have come here just to have a peek in the XML forum might have found your threads rather interesting and helpful. There's good info in 'em. Just because the info wasn't drawn by a typically direct question doesn't mean it doesn't belong in the XML forum. <subtle-hint-to-users>And if any forum section could do with some more decent regulars, it's the XML forum. ;) </subtle-hint-to-users>

[Mr Initial Man]

I'll do that, then, though I think the mods would get grumpy if I started yet ANOTHER discussion about ElementML :D
