Right, but that only deals with JS embedded in its own script/script
block. I've used that before if I wasn't able to remove the JS and put it in
an external file.
This breaks down though, for references like this in the page for
bookmarklets (pardon the length):
a href=javascript:var l=document.links.length;var s='';for
(i=0;il;i++){var lk=document.links[i];s+='tr valign=top';s+='td' +
lk.innerHTML + ' /td';s+='td' + lk.title + ' /td';s+='tda
href='+lk.href+'' + lk.href + '/a/td';s+='/tr';}s='Links for:
'+document.location.href+'table border=1 style='font:x-small verdana'tr
valign=topthText/ththTitle/ththURL/th/tr'+s+'/table';var
lw=window.open('', 'lw',
'');lw.document.open();lw.document.write(s);lw.document.close();
Links and Titles
/a
Adding proper escape sequences to inline JS in this case just won't work, or
perhaps I'm missing something?
Best regards,
Derek.

RE: [WSG] Internal CSS in XHTML served as application/xhtml+xml
This breaks down though, for references like this in the page for bookmarklets (pardon the length): but wouldn't you say that bookmarklets are a bit of a perversion of the standard, in which case it becomes academic to discuss how these can be served in a standards-compliant way? or is it just me?

Oh, I agree completely -- I was just hoping that someone somewhere might have come across a method that would let me serve it up properly... What I'll likely end up doing is serve that page as text/html - it's the only solution that I can see, if I want to serve the rest of the site as application/xhtml+xml I won't lose too much sleep over it... ;) Cheers, Derek. -- Derek Featherstone [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone: 613.599.9784; toll-free: 1.866.932.4878 (North America) Web Accessibility: http://www.wats.ca Web Development: http://www.furtherahead.com Personal: http://www.boxofchocolates.ca * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help *

I could be misunderstanding, but seing as bookmarklets require JavaScript, why not use JavaScript in an external file to populate the content on the page to start with? You could then use a noscript block to explain to people that in order to see and use the bookmarklets, they need a JavaScript-enabled browser? -- Kay Smoljak http://kay.smoljak.com * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help *
