Well, there's never any reason to index what's in between <script> and </script>, because that's what caused the problem in the first place, so there's no real reason to add an attribute to control this. It comes down to either extending noindex_start and noindex_end to allow multiple strings, or adding extra code to handle <script> and <style> tags in a similar way. Personally I think extending noindex_start and noindex_end wouldn't be much harder, and would be more generally useful. > >Ironically, I felt when getting > >3.1.6 out that this was less of a priority now that the HTML parser had > >built-in support for ignoring stuff between <script> and </script> tags. > > Has anyone else been able to replicate this problem? (See below...) Well, it seem Jim did, or at least he described it well enough that we know there is a problem and how to test for it. The key is to put your JavaScript into an HTML comment like this: <script language="JavaScript"> <!-- ... // --> </script> If you do that, the JavaScript code will still be run by your browser, but won't cause problems for non-JavaScript-aware clients. If you don't use comment delimiters, or you use invalid ones (e.g. an odd number of dashes) then htdig won't strip out the JavaScript as a comment, and will try to parse it. When we fix the <script> tag handling, this shouldn't matter because the whole script will be stripped out like a comment, whether it's properly enclosed in delimiters or not. That doesn't mean other web clients won't have problems with it, though. -- Gilles R.
