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?
