Re: [platform-ua-dev] New parser in 3.3?

[Eric Sirois <easirois@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Seth,

I think I opened a defect a while back regarding the Eclipse adding 
empty javascript tags.  If the sample in the defect

<script 
language="javascript" src="scroller.js" />

is one that you added, that is not valid the </script> endtag is required as well as the type attribute.  
Yes, the new Equinox HTTP/Jetty architecture actually validates all content it serves up.

The other error in the defect is valid as well.  &nbsp is a user defined entity and not defined in the XHTML DTD.
It should be replaced with #xA0; or #160;


Here is a webpage that helps to answer questions regarding
nbsp;

http://www.stylusstudio.com/xsllist/200112/post20640.html

Even the HTML 4 spec defines the entity nbsp as #160; (#160 and #A0 are
equivalent)
