Kinda, maybe... It's not really so much for XHTML but the work above seems to be a pretty close solution. I hope this not completly unrelated... I have a couple other 3rd party scripts other then adsense that use document.write(). It would nice to be able to load any those on command at any given time *after the page loads. Unfortunatly, relplacing nodes with .innerHTML doesn't invoke javascript and even if it did, document.write would just write over the entire page. So... I see above that your overriding document.write, capturing the contents and using document.createElement() activate the overridden script right? I'm not 100% in javascript and your code is a little hard to follow for me, can you post up an example of this code in action? I’m looking to do somthing simular to this.

My script catches 3rd party content from multiple includes and puts them in the correct place (using a technique not too dissimilar to his).

I was motivated to write this script because everything stopped working once I switched MIME types (including AdSense). It would be neat to have alternate versions of your scripts for use in XHTML. I'd be willing to share some ideas I have on the subject if you'd like. (Maybe I'll write a follow up post on it). And thanks for the bug fix!

Cool post. We're aware of the limitations of document.write(), but we've decided to use it because it's so darn portable. That said, it's great to see what you've done here and we'll use this as a model for how to improve our code going forward. And by the way, the missing semi-colon on the ellipsis character (# & 8230 ) was a bug. We've fixed it and the change will go live later today. Thanks again. Let me know if you have any additional questions. Hey Ara, this is John from FeedBurner.
