    Chapter 3 Your First XML Document

    Figure 3-1: A saved XML document in Notepad with the file name
    in quotes

    The Windows NT version of Notepad gives you the option to save the file in Unicode.
    Surprisingly this will work too, though for now you should stick to basic ASCII. XML
    files may be either Unicode or a compressed version of Unicode called UTF-8, which
    is a strict superset of ASCII, so pure ASCII files are also valid XML files.
    CrossReference

    UTF-8 and ASCII are discussed in more detail in Chapter 7, Foreign Languages and
    non-Roman Text.

    Loading the XML File into a Web Browser


    Now that youve created your first XML document, youre going to want to look at
    it. The file can be opened directly in a browser that supports XML such as Internet
    Explorer 5.0. Figure 3-2 shows the result.
    What you see will vary from browser to browser. In this case its a nicely formatted
    and syntax colored view of the documents source code. However, whatever it is,
    its likely not to be particularly attractive. The problem is that the browser doesnt
    really know what to do with the FOO element. You have to tell the browser what its
    expected to do with each element by using a style sheet. Well cover that shortly,
    but first lets look a little more closely at your first XML document.
