Hi,

Look at The Web Design Journal.com.

Why does the AdBrite JavaScript only load in Internet Explorer 6 and not Opera nor Firefox?

This occured after I changed my content-type accept headers to application/xhtml+xml. Of course IE6 and other browsers without support for XHTML whould get the page e as text/html.

But I still do not see why this change whould corrupt the JavaScript.

All I can say is if the script were written correctly it should work when sending application/xhtml+xml as the mime-type of the document. So I would question how well the script was written since I've never had problems with javascript and using application/xhtml+xml for my sites.

Cheers,

I don't see the Adbrite Javascript. Where is it?

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://4.adbrite.com/mb/text_group.php?sid=98201&amp;col=2&amp;br=1&amp;dk=77656220686f7374696e675f325f31"></script>

Well I couldn't view the script, connection always refused.

If this script makes use of document.write() then it won't work in application/xhtml+xml;

That's all I could think could possibly be the problem with this.

Cheers,

MC

P.S - You wouldn't mind sharing your application/xhtml+xml detection script would you? I've worked on my own way of doing it, but if there's a better way I would definitely implement it. So far I have spider/bots/validators being sent it, as well as browsers that support it and browsers I know that support it but don't say they do. So here's my snippet in PHP:

PHP Code:

function is_Xhtml()
{
    $is_Xhtml = false;
    if(!isset($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT']))
        $is_Xhtml = true;
    elseif(strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT'], 'xhtml+xml'))
        $is_Xhtml = true;
    if(!$is_Xhtml)
    {
        $supported_Useragent = array('konqueror');
        foreach($supported_Useragent as $UA)
        {
            if(strpos(strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']), $UA))
            {
                $is_Xhtml = true;
                break;
            }
        }
    }
    return $is_Xhtml;
}
