Why did you file a bug report requesting E4X support when you were aware of bug 5381 which already covers that topic? Retitling to match focus of this bug. https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3773 & https://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-30/ Is there any aim to support XQuery 3.0? Or we can close this? We can close. :) |
1) Safari 3 apparently doesn't support the latest JavaScript (ECMAScript) release. The following E4X script is ONLY supported by Mozilla browsers: var e = <employees> <employee id="1"><name>Joe</name><age>20</age></employee> <employee id="2"><name>Sue</name><age>30</age></employee> </employees>; var names = e..name; // get all the names in e E4X needs to be supported in Safari for parsing XML data vectors via SIMPLE JavaScript syntax. This is a valuable asset for interfacing with cross-platform servers. 2) Support XQuery. XQuery is the SQL-equivalent for XML.
