However, Trident, WebKit and Presto all try to tokenize synchronously on document.close() in addition to inserting the EOF character in the stream. Presto seems to tokenize to EOF. WebKit tokenizes until EOF or the earliest external-script </script> whichever comes first. Trident tokenizes but I'm not sure how far. (I gave up testing before I found out.) Since 3 out of 4 tokenize at least somewhat, I think document.write() should attempt to tokenize. However, I think it should bail out if the tokenization causes the parser to block, since that's more implementable in Gecko than what Presto does. Live DOM URLs of interest: http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/saved/276 Shows that Gecko doesn't tokenize but WebKit and Presto tokenize. http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/saved/277 Shows that Trident tokenizes. http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/saved/278 Shows that WebKit bails out but Presto doesn't. 28684 1 ian 2009-10-21 08:18:03 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
