As for serializing to XHTML. First of all you must be aware that
browsers will not treat XHTML as XHTML pages because of content
type set to "text/html" instead of "text/xhtml". It is done so
because IE (sigh) does not understand "text/xhtml". Given that,
browsers interpret XHTML as HTML code and it usually works but not
for empty elements because in html there was no such a construct
<script src="..."/>
We are finally near to the problem, AJAX does not work because js-
libraries are not being loaded correctly because script tag is not
parsed correctly. As a workaround, you can add comment/dummmy
character inside all empty elements in resulting XHTML. It's really
basic tip.
There were lots of discussions related to this issue so maybe you
can find some neat solution in archives. Some pointers:
