I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "uncomment", and why it'd gain you any performance. As far as a DOM view of an HTML page is concerned, your example's all text nodes. Removing the /**/ is entirely a string-processing operation, at this level. You might want to take a look at the Bean Scripting Framework (BSF), available on www.alphaWorks.ibm.com. That's intended to be a fairly general approach to invoking scripts on demand, in any of a variety of languages... and javascript is one of those languages. Of course this requires that the application recognize the text as a script and pass it to BSF for evaluation. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research
