    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!
    Ralf

      No language attribute in Strict

      OK I think...

      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
