I think XML is great even though I have only started using it. I use it mostly for my AJAX functions and I am going to start having my PHP code generate the XML needed based on data in a database. Either way you do things knowing XML is a good thing that I would recomend to anyone. Merry Christmas!
Actually, XML is very nice to use for tabular data. It can be displayed very easily and can be laid out using CSS just so.
But it’s not a general purpose tool; I would never think of using XML for what HTML is good for.
XML is definitely on my ‘to learn’ list
I have been reading your newletter to try and learn to maintain a website. And I have found much of it helpful. But I have to admit, reading this article I haven’t a clue what is being talked about! LOL! I have some more reading to do.
