Q&A
| Q1: |
Besides parsing documents into HTML, what other practical uses are there for XML? |
| A1: |
XML is a great way to store any type of marked-up text in a standardized way. Developers of many software applications, including popular word processors, are considering using XML-based files. |
| Q2: |
Why should I care about users of limited browsers, such as Lynx? |
| A2: |
Lynx is used by more people than you think (try it—it's incredibly fast). More importantly, more and more people are accessing the Web with devices such as palmtop PCs and cell phones, which make Lynx look sophisticated by comparison. |
| Q3: |
What if I have a JavaScript question that isn't answered in this book? |
| A3: |
Start with the resources in Appendix A.You should also stop by this book's Web site (www.jsworkshop.com) for a list of updates to the book, frequently-asked questions, and a forum where you can discuss JavaScript with the author and other users. |
