The gecko behavior doesn't involve making a network request for data you then plan to do nothing with, right? Whereas the IE/Webkit behavior involves doing just that, as far as I can see. Is it common to use unknown script types on external scripts for purposes other than preloading the script (as these libraries seem to do)? I guess there might be pages with unconditional includes of vbscript, but I don't know how typical this is. Regards, Maciej
