    <thetext>Validtor&apos;s XHTML is served as text/html, even to XHTML browsers.

If proper XML Content-Type is forced, the scripts cease to work: options aren&apos;t hidden initially, there are no DHTML effects.

(forgive me not telling exactly why - the amount and complexity of script used for this simple effect is disheartening)</thetext>

&gt; If proper XML Content-Type is forced, the scripts cease to work:

Indeed, it looks like the mootools libraries are using document.write, which won&apos;t work with XML. Forwarding the feedback.

&gt; options aren&apos;t hidden initially, there are no DHTML effects.

But the interface does degrade &quot;gracefully&quot; when scripting is disabled or not working.</thetext>

I&apos;ll have to disagree to some extent here.

Even if Firefox 1.5.0.12 is probably the last one in the 1.5 series, it&apos;s not that old, and moreover I&apos;m not sure if I understand the benefit of the &quot;smooth transition/fading&quot; effects for the validator&apos;s UI in the first place.

That&apos;s apparently a CSS problem, we&apos;re looking at it.

    <thetext>The main scripting issues are fixed, and the mootools team is aware that the usage of document.write() is problematic - there is only one left in the library at the moment.

Keeping this open, to track in future.</thetext>
