Re: Re: Reducing size of htm output

Seems I'm going a bit too far here :) The URL quotes which states to denote JS between <!-- --> comment tags is from the HTML 4.0 page. I've been reading lots of XHTML recommendations lately, and have become accustomed to those. In those, when a <script> isn't understood, it's ignored. Besides that fact, it should also be denoted by the CDATA tags <![CDATA[ ...//... ]]> sorry about making such a fuss of it around here ;) (just personally don't like it either) Rory Browne wrote:

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. This doesn't matter for a dynamic website. Try googling, but don't say ob_gzhandler, since this is (allegedly) a problem with IE/gzip compatability, and not the ob_gzhandler implemention(ie search for gzip and not ob_gzhandler).

Sure.... but now: how do I access the htm output of the current executing script before it is send to the user? Thanks again

1) Is there any function to do this (I'm using PHP 4.2) ? Or maybe some

user

has already done it? 2) Is it true that ob_start("ob_gzhandler") can cause problems on IE

5.5+?

don't know. but you can detect these browsers and turn compression off
