XHTML: <![CDATA[..script..]]>

Hi there,
can anybody help me?

It won't work! Why?
My declaration:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>Title</title>
<script language="JavaS cript1.1" type="text/javascript">
<![CDATA[
<!--
...script ...
// -->
]]>
</script>
</head>
<body>
<noscript>
<p>Noscript</p>
</noscript>
</body>
</html>

It works without "<![CDATA[..script..]]>"!
Thanks for helping!

Why do you have an SGML comment in there?

What does won't work mean? Doesn't the page validate? Or is the script
causing script errors?

You need
<script type="text/javascript">
<![CDATA[
script code
]]>
</script>
for a XHTML page served as XML (text/xml, application/xml,
application/xhtml+xml) to a browser.

If you want your page to be served as text/html to a HTML browser like
IE then you need
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
script code
//]]>
</script>
as an HTML parser doesn't know about CDATA sections

Okay, you are all so smart in here. Answer me this: IE6 in standards mode doesn't seem to hide scrollbars on the body element (overflow:hide) Ain't this a quandary.

The scrollbars do hide on Gecko browsers though, so there is definitely a disagreement among browser developers on how to implement scrollbars (as a side note, Gecko browsers with their notoriously bug-ridden...

I've tested some of the new Nokia 6600 functionality. It ships with WAP2 and XHTML Support (it says). What it does is check the Doctype -- if it's not the XHTML Mobile Profile Doctype, but a XHTML1.0 Strict one, the media-handheld CSS is _ignored_. Only with the Nokia Doctype, the CSS is used. I find this really annoying as it goes against the whole idea of media-independent XHTML Strict along with stylesheets. On the good side, WML...

My take on problems composing, serving and rendering XHTML documents/web pages: 1. Typical conscientious web authors are producing XHTML documents (Web pages) that feature valid Markup and with the content (MIME) type specified as text/html (http://keystonewebsites.com/articles/mime_type.php). These pages are then loaded on to their Server where they are served to Rendering Agents (browsers) as HTML (SGML application) documents with no...

I read this in http://annevankesteren.nl/2004/12/xhtml-notes "A common misconception is that XHTML 1.1 is the latest version of the XHTML series. And although it was released a bit more than a year later then the first version of XHTML 1.0, the second edition is actually newer. Furthermore, XHTML 1.1 is not really the follow-up of XHTML 1.0" I thought that XHTML 1.1 was the follow-up to XHTML 1.0 and that XHTML 2.0 will someday be the...

Hi, I am having difficulty getting the ASP.NET framework to generate valid XHTML. My immediate problem surrounds user input in, for example, textbox controls. I consider characters such as less-than and ampersand perfectly valid in user input. So I've disabled request validation by adding the following to my web.config file.

I have an "Update Customer" form that doesn't work as .xhtml. Here's where it stops working: <input type="text" name="ud_first" id="ud_first" value="<? echo "$first"?>" /> -------^ When the browser hits the < after value, it thinks I'm starting another tag before I finish my input tag. Fair enough. I switch the <'s for $lt; and then it stops here:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.
