I have some pages done using Dreamweaver MX, that contain javascripted popup menus, the bit that calls the thingy is
mmLoadMenus();
However of late (I guess a new version of DW) the code that gets added is
Whc Mozilla seems to ignore.
Any ideas - the former, when used works fine.

Try changing
to
Note the space between > and . This could be a side effect of quirks mode. Is there a <!DOCTYPE> statement at the start of the page?

sorry guys, wrong bit cut and pasted above, from memory (at home now) the good one is
mmLoadMenus();
The bad one is
mmLoadMenus();
the only difference is the 2nd "1.2" didn't help me this PM cutting and pasting the wrong bit in.
Cheers

If it's set as doc type xml, just try setting it as html or what ever the old one was. Even though a lot of the new wysiwyg programmes set the docs as xml, Mozilla is a little too strict to allow it.

"text/JavaScript1.2" isn't a valid MIME type. Changing it to just type="text/javascript" should fix it.

Odd the un-numbered version is what DW puts in at first, then when you use the command "Clean up XHTML" it changes it to the invalid one!!
I guess a glitch in DW

You should send in a bug report. That's something they'll probably want to know about.

I take it you mean to Dreamweaver not Mozilla?
Never sure about how to contact Macromedia with bug reports, no real people to contact - their discussion forums occasionally have staff on, have found three bugs in the last few weeks (this included) and not sure who to tell. Let's put a question on their forums

Yep. Not Mozilla; It's not a Mozilla bug. text/javascript is the proper MIME type so Mozilla is doing the right thing here.
It's distressing when there's no way to report bugs to a company. They tend not to get fixed.

Actually tried to find it (after someone told me) the only link to it was simply "Request a feature" I suppose Bug fixing is a featuer "Now with working options" but not really the same
Cheers all.

...or of course as a bug has been defined as "undocumented feature" then the latest version could simply document them "now with advanced XHTML breaking feature"
