Really appreciate the effort. And now the reply... I used XML because: 1. The HTML code would be reduced. If the slides were inside the HTML, the size of the file would have got large and optimized content would have been pushed down below. I used XML to make sure that optimized content would be as high in the source code as possible. At first view it wouldn't be that much, but this slider was developed to be used in a portfolio section, and there's a lot of projects and screens. 2. Indeed there's more to code by using XML to store data, but this comes with benefits, as the number of mysql requests is minimized. In fact, the site doesn't even use a mysql database. 3. Most sliders out there use inline content, hiding it then revealing it, and this one is different. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Really appreciate the effort. And now the reply…

I know you said it was to streamline your markup, but look at how much work you have caused yourself with your js file? The offset doesn't add up. I guess in a production environment, perhaps it would be clearer the overheads reduced by using an XML feed. But what is likely to create this feed? If it's coming form a database, well you would be foolish to not run it through a server-side query which would provide stronger validation. If it is from a feed of some kind, I guess I could see the validity, but then again you'd be more likely to be sourcing a feed direct. Is the XML an example of how you could take data from a feed? Perhaps I am reading into it a little too much.
