    XHTML, <script>, Opera


    Opera 7 doesn't appear to support the <script> element in XHTML. Does
    this mean that it impossible to use Javascript with XHTML? Or is there
    a workaround, such as the legacy method, in HTML, of commenting out the
    Javascript code.

      No, if you serve XHTML as an XML document type like text/xml or with the
      XHTML document type application/xhtml+xml then Opera 7 doesn't support
      the <script> element. At least this has been the case last time I tested
      and I checked the Opera docs (they had that clearly documented).
      Of course you can send XHTML 1.0 as text/html and then script works. Or
      better stick with HTML 4.01, current user agents don't deal with XHTML
      in any way encouraging a change.
