Hmmm, didn't know the w3c had an opinion on the usage of <!-- //--> tags to delimit javascript. I've always been recommended to use them, to hide the script from browsers that don't support javascript, just like I use <noscript>, or <noframes> to show messages to browsers that don't support script or frames. Can you reference the message/memo/whatever from the w3c that discourages them. I believe perhaps you took either it or my suggestion out of context, because I can't fathom a reason why you wouldn't want to hide js from non-js-capable browsers. > and > > you have the additional talk of replacing out // and /* .. */ > > comments. > > > > but if you really want to do it then: > > > > function ob_whitespace_removal($str){ > > // would need to dbl_check regex/modifiers > > return ob_gzhandler(preg_replace("/\s+/m", " ", $str)); > > } > > > > should work, Although for purists/modularity output buffer stacking > > may be a cleaner technique > > > > Re: Internet Explorer Problems: > > if you check the ob_start or ob_gzhandler pages on the php > > manual(online version) then you'll find a user-submitted comment > > saying that MSIE doesn't cache compressed stuff.
