One problem when using application/xhtml+xml is that Javascript functions like document.write() and Element.innerHtml may disrupt the XML validity of the document. So the behaviour for most browsers (last time I checked was with Firefox 2 and Opera 7.5 I think) is either to disable this functions on an application/xhtml+xml page or make it switch back to text/html before executing the function. IE of course is out of the application/xhtml+xml debate since it does not support this MIME type. Hope this helps to clarify. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery Development" group.
