RE: [PHP] stripping white space?

The fact is: getting discouraged about using double quotes in HTML on integers I was wondering what are the drawbacks of it. Maybe something I missed. Maybe there's someone hating me using this style because his browser goes wild or even crashes or does something else I never came across of. It was a good question to ask and a good topic to make sure of other's opinions. ---just my reasons of keeping this discussions. -maxim maletsky -----Original Message----- From: Maxim Maletsky Sent: Tuesday, July 10, 2001 4:54 PM To: 'NavidYar2@home.com'; 'Bart Veldhuizen'; php-general@lists.php.net Subject: RE: [PHP] stripping white space? well, my dear patriot, I do. Contaminating the web is not my main purpose. The usual life time of a web application is around one year. I think our project will be changed ten times before uncle Bob gets online. Since there's no plans for us to use XML, since there's no way W3C goes broke, since there's no way a 100MB large browsers will be released and, most importantly, since there's no way in THIS ONE YEAR I AM TALKING ABOUT anything rush will be changed to the planet's internet connection speeds - I will build my site in the way that saves my and my team's development time and with it our money, as well as the healthy page load time reduce. Be rational, Navid. ...and don't take it personally. -maxim maletsky -----Original Message----- From: Navid A.

"We do nothing with XML, so that is why I am so shocked why people here discourage me that much." Even HTML is headed toward a more efficient structure. The current browser companies won't hold on to old code for long, just to make everything backward compatible. Next thing we know, we'll have to download a 100MB IE browser just cause it supports backward compatibility of older HTML and client-side coding practices, which in turn will discourage people to download a newer version of a browser. Imagine the year 2010, where uncle bob is still stuck with IE 4.0 while everyone else is using IE 15.0. And guess what? Uncle Bob is the one with the money to shop online, not little joey who was born to see the 10.0 version and nothing earlier. W3C will not maintain older DTDs for HTML 3.2 for long, language practices die too, just like browsers and Windows 3.1/95. Standards are emerging to make it easier for everyone. Technology moves forward, not backward. By using good HTML practices, you're helping technology move in a steady upward motion. Saving a few bytes will soon not make a difference once everyone jumps into the high speed bandwagon, or when the broadband bottleneck phenomenon is broken and when no one needs to worry about broadband anymore. If you want small file sizes use other practices such as decreasing image size or quality, etc. Just don't contaminate the web with the architecture drawings of the prehistoric wheel. And I don't mean to sound so harsh, please don't take it personally. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
