Here is a way to insert a foreign element into a HTML4 document in a syntactically valid and User Agent compatible way: <script type=""><!--</><![CDATA[--></script> <embed src="http://example.org/" ></embed> <!--]]>--> Works and validates because: 1. HTML4 sees <script> as ending with the '</>' tag. So, to HTML4 the <![CDATA[ section lasts until ']]>' on the last line. 2. UAs think that <script> lasts until '</script>'. Thus Web browsers do not recognize that there is a <![CDATA[ ]]> section 3. Web browsers will also see '<!--]]>-->' as a comment. Whereas HTML4 sees "<!--" as last 4 characters of the CDATA section. Thanks to David Dorward for helping me to understand how <script> is supposed to be parsed, according to HTML4 ... ;-) -- leif halvard silli
