JavaScript, Firefox and application/xhtml

    I noticed a problem when serving the blog as application/xhtml.

    I released the Transpose Email plugin which uses a javascript function Transpose_Email().
    Works properly in IE and Opera
    This works perfect in Firefox when the page is served as text/html, but the moment I shift to application/xhtml, I get a javascript error saying function not found.

    I have absolutely no idea how to solve this problem so that the function works when the page is served as XHTML.

    Any suggestions?

    You should keep the JavaScript as an external script and just link to it from the XHTML document. You can’t have ‘inline’ JavaScript like that in an XML document (as a real XHTML document is). The only option is to escape it properly (read up on CDATA), but keeping scripts and CSS external is the best.

    Thanks for the post.
    Was able to fix the problem when I got the same feedback from MozillaZine Forum.

    Moved the js to an external file.

    Released v1.1 of the plugin 🙂
