If served as text/html, browsers treat <script ... /> as if the "/" were not there - so the rest of the document is taken as being inside the script element. If served with an XHTML document type, IE can't handle it at all, whereas Firefox processes it by XHTML rules, treating <script ... /> as <script ... ></script> and the document works as expected. -- Yucca, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
