http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11295 --- Comment #10 from Kyle Simpson <w3c@getify.myspamkiller.com> 2010-12-30 18:46:23 UTC --- (in reply to comment #9) Actually, the REAL reason those pages are not yet "breaking" in Webkit nightlies is described in this comment: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50115#c46 I've now discovered that Webkit's change to stop fetching scripts with unrecognized types was *only* applied to markup script tags, whereas LABjs and other script loaders use dynamic script elements. As you (Adam) awknowledged there, the change probably *should* have been applied to both parser-inserted scripts AND script-inserted scripts, so it's a probably a bug that Webkit will likely address quickly to bring behavior in line with intentions. I'm quite certain that when Webkit *does* apply the change also to script-inserted script elements, we'll have a better example of how a site can break by not being able to "preload". Those sites are avoiding "preloading" (to the detriment of performance) because they don't want to be blind-sided by LABjs breaking if Webkit does in fact release a breaking change, which is obviously going to happen sooner than later. Just because they're making that performance tradeoff for more stability doesn't mean it's not a perfectly valid use-case, that needs to be addressed. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
