HTML from the Microsoft Word
You just gotta love the HTML that comes out of the Microsoft Word. Particularly useful are the HTML comments, which are not closed, breaking the rest of the webpage below the paste. Yes, exactly where, for example, JavaScript is being loaded in the footer of the page.
This is a good old case of “Don’t trust any user input”, reinforced with “especially if they are using Microsoft tools”.
Browser support for URLs beginning with double slash
For some reason, I keep forgetting if double slash URLs are supported in older browsers or not. Maybe if I post the answer from this StackOverflow question here, I will remember it myself next time:
This behavior was part of RFC 1808 (Section 4) which is about 16 years old, so every major browser should (and does) support this.
Sadly, there’s a bug with IE7 and -8 that will make them download the resources twice if a protocol-relative URL is used on a link or @import – which shouldn’t be a big problem, but is ugly and should be kept in mind.
So, that might be a problem for the CSS, but the JavaScript and images should work just fine.
