If you're running Apache, installing mod_gzip would speed up more than just JavaScript, with less headache. There may be a similar solution for other web servers, but I'm not aware of it. (Doesn't mean it would be difficult to write, if you have access to some rewriting rules based on accept headers.)	[reply]

The "magical regex" you seek is really a magical module--Text::Balanced by Damian Conway (TheDamian). `extract_codeblock`, although designed for Perl and not JavaScript, should probably do the trick. =cut --Brent Dax There is no sig.	[reply] [d/l]
