Hi
I am in the process of setting up a test page (informal), from which I
intend to make real tests and submit bug reports to Webkit, Mozilla,
Opera, etc.
http://keryx.se/dev/javascript/javascript-parsing-test.html
It is not finished yet. It does nut run at all in MSIE...
But a few things are noticeable:
Webkit based browsers happily tries to parse scripts after the following
tags:
<script language=javascript1.6">
<script language=javascript1.7">
Even though neither Safari nor Chrome support those JavaScript versions.
And it is not a matter of bugs, but lacking implementations.
No browser runs script specified with:
type="text/ecmascript;version=2.0"
type="application/ecmascript;version=2.0"
type="text/ecmascript;version=3.0"
type="application/ecmascript;version=3.0"
A. Should not the spec mandate that a browser must support a certain
version of JavaScript if it tries to run it?
B. Should the spec mandate that a browser must run a script that it de
facto supports, e.g. ecmascript 3 in Firefox?
I think neither issue is clear today. Perhaps this is outside the scope
of HTML 5?
Regards
Lars Gunther
