I tend to agree with Niklas Åkerlund that XMLHttpRequest is for fetching a single resource (of data). If we'd execute scripts in that resource per the HTML parser that would mean that other resources have to be loaded as well. In my current copy of XMLHttpRequest level 2 I have written that the parser should run with support for scripting disabled for that reason. (I'll hope to check in a copy once I've clearly marked outstanding issues, maybe later today.) -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
