Well, yesterday I was contacted by someone and asked me to go visit a web page, I’m actually not fond of doing that at all, but him being a trustworthy person I clicked on the link and found myself looking at a alert script, “Well sure having a web page you control with java script is not a great triumph” but then I started to check exactly what was being done and executed.

Opened my IExplorer (ugh) and visited the same page, and I just saw a normal XML:

So I came back to Firefox and revisited the webpage:

Mmmm this is .. interesting, this was exactly the point of the discussion as someone from a big company was actually saying this cannot be done and that it didn’t work on his firefox (maybe it was an IExplorer with a Firefox skin?)

This reminds me of java script being executed in CSS since couple of years ago anyway (that is for another post) I think I’m going to dive a bit more into this specific Firefox thing see how nice and how atractive can it be to keep on executing stuff, since as you can see the tags are not script or jscript or anything, just pure script and it works.

I might debug tonight the java machine in Firefox but I believe is the embedded part that tries to be too smart and ends up being too weak on this part.

More specific details shall come soon, still I have to ask whoever found it if he is ok with me running my research and publishing

Anyway, of to coding and debugging!
