Re: [VE][64] Validator parses <.....> inside <script></script> need advise

Hi David,

Thank you for the fast reply, I was aware of the  <![CDATA[/*> code as 
it is mentioned on W3's page here http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.8 but 
this doesn't work, when I add it then the code is hidden from the page, 
and hence useless :)
I usually avoid javascripts unless they are 100% required, and I know 
that DynamicDrive isn't the best source, but it was the only I could 
find that worked with both MSIE and Firefox, and as my self, I tend to 
forget stuff easily, which is why the bookmark reminder is there :P

After reading the section you pointed me to at  
http://www.hixie.ch/advocacy/xhtml I learned that Scripts that use 
document.write() will not work in XHTML contexts.  (You have to use DOM 
Core methods.), I never heard of that, can it really be true and do you 
know of the Dom Core method? Cause  I don't think that I do.
In any case if I can not get it to work, I have to find a different 
solution or simply remove it from the site(s), as there is nothing more 
annoying than broken websites (speaking from experience as a 
Linux/Firefox user).

I am not sure what you meant with:
> Why would activating the "Download File" function in my browser do
> anything related to bookmarking?
Activating what download file ?

Kind regards
Jesper
