doesnt inline javascript break the rules of xhtml
have u tried this, put your javascript in its own .js file then reference it in your xhtml document

I'm pretty sure there is a way to do it so that it doesn't violate xhtml norms.
It would propably involve putting it in
Obviously I can put it in an external .js file, but that's not the question :-)

Hello Jakob, okay, so workaround a no go then :)
Right, it seems your very close on the mark with using the character data tags
How have you tried doing this in code?
eg
<br>/*<![CDATA[*/ <br> document.write('Hello World!'); <br>/*]]>*/ <br>
but the wiki does say not to use document.write, instead try to use node creation methods

Hi Nidhi,
sorry for being a bit late with my respond.
I did try your suggestion amongst other things.
Here are two other options:
1: Which uses // style javascript comments instead of /* ... */
<br>//<![CDATA[ <br>document.write('Hello World!'); <br>//]]> <br>
I suspect the result is exactly the same as nidhi's suggestion in all browsers
2: Which use of simple html style comments (and a javascript // comment):
<br><!-- <br>document.write('Hello World!'); <br>//-->> <br>
I've seen this method used and suggested somewhere - and sometimes in combination with CDATA tags, but I don't really understand why it works, and it's probably also a kind of legacy approach to hide javascript from incompatible browsers.
3: The 'catch-all' bulletproof approach
<br><!--//--><![CDATA[//><!-- <br>document.title = "Foo & Bar"; <br>//--><!]]> <br>
I suppose it'll work. But as the author states:
"Remember that the very concept of sending XHTML to be handled by an HTML engine is essentially a hack and cannot be done flawlessly."

For me the first approach did the trick in the major browsers.
Thanks, nidhi

This is the simple and robust approach that has served the purpose for me until now:
<br>//<![CDATA[ <br>document.write('Hello World!'); <br>//]]> <br>
Explanation:
the non-xhtml part of the script has to be wrapped in tags in order to validate.
These tags, which are invalid javascript, are then commented out with // (which is still valid xhtml).

Hey, guys, I want to recommend you a PC cleaner, the software "tuneup360". It's very easy to handle and of course very powerful, you can have try, I'm sure it can improve your computer performance.
