I'm not sure if I can explain my problem any further because when you wrote that 'the error comes from the script eval'ed by mootools' I thought I'd already covered that when I wrote
'- I am aware - due to there being no problems when I remove the javascript from the retrieved content html - that it is the executed javascript in the retrieved html that is causing the errors. Unfortunately the gallery needs the javascript there. ' I left out the point that the script was being evaluated by mootools, but this was a given. So I'm not sure how to progress when you suggest an idea that sounds like something I'd already covered. I'm not particularly wonderful at javascript though so I imagine it's my lack of experience that's causing me the confusion moreso than your advice. I know it's always difficult when someone with experience deals with someone relatively unexperienced so thanks again for all your patience. I don't want to run you in circles so I should probably leave the problem here and look for alternative solutions. Thanks Thierry. I'll also try the try/catch in the script tag again, though I am as confused as ever as to why I was suggested to try it, then told it wasn't suitable because the response was html, and now to try it again (that's how my confused head interpreted what you said). Perhaps you meant try a try/catch that has different code to your eval (respone) from earlier. I'll give that a go.
