Not sure if this is a -users or -dev issue but after typing this out I believe it to be a -dev problem.
Summary: Basically I'm having issues with "Knowing Your Own Metadata" < https://github.com/Martii/greasemonkey/wiki/greasemonkey-manual-metadata-block > . More specifically, it appears an attempt is made unescape html entities within a <![CDATA[ ] ]> block within a Greasemonkey script w/ FF4b9. This does not happen when running the same code within the available command lines. Simplified test case: alert( <headerBlock> <![CDATA[ foo&b<>ar ]]></headerBlock>.toString() ); alert( <headerBlock> <![CDATA[ foo&b<>ar ]]></headerBlock>.toString() ); Expected / Actual Outcomes: When done from the 'Web Console' / 'Error Console' command lines where the text within the [ ] will appear in the alert() exactly as it is entered. Similarly, this is not an issue in FF3.6 Greasemonkey scripts / Firebug command line / Error console command line, nor the earlier FF4.0 betas (I think - at least, I don't recall coming up against this before). The problem when used within a Greasemonkey script however, the alert displays "foo&b<>ar" (the first contents of CDATA after unencoding the HTML entities) and then throws an error "unexpected end of HTML entity" on the second line (if the ampersand is not the first "bad" character, the error message differs). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "greasemonkey-users" group.
