The problem is that some older web browsers > don't understand the CDATA tag That implies that understanding <!CDATA[ markup is something fixed in newer browsers, but that is misrepresenting the situation. You can not have a CDATA section (or any markup) in a script element in HTML. The age of the browser is immaterial. Conversely if you generate XHTML and serve it as XHTML then CDATA quoting is understood by the browser. So problems only occur if you generate XHTML and serve it as HTML. That generates syntax errors but commenting out odd lines only masks some of the problems, basically the whole document is then in error. Probably I haven't convinced you and you'll want to do this anyway, in which case, I'd use Martin's suggestion of writing the script to an external file. David
