Hello!
I=B4m new here and have an urgent question concerning vCard. I=B4m =
developping a vCard-Reader.
While I read the specifications 2.1 and 3.0 I get puzzled.
In both specs all keywords like : BEGIN, VCARD, WORK, HOME,... are =
written in kapital letters.
And additionally I thought every vCard has to have the property N:....
But in the specification 3.0 on page 38 is the following example:
BEGIN:vCard
VERSION:3.0
FN:Frank Dawson
ORG:Lotus Development Corporation
ADR;TYPE=3DWORK,POSTAL,PARCEL:;;6544 Battleford Drive
;Raleigh;NC;27613-3502;U.S.A.
TEL;TYPE=3DVOICE,MSG,WORK:+1-919-676-9515
TEL;TYPE=3DFAX,WORK:+1-919-676-9564
EMAIL;TYPE=3DINTERNET,PREF:[email protected]
EMAIL;TYPE=3DINTERNET:[email protected]
URL:http://home.earthlink.net/~fdawson
END:vCard
My question: Is it allowed not to wright N: in a vCard and is it =
possible to use small letters in key words?
Thank you for your soon reply!
