Mark, Do you mean JSLint's fragment: true option? Please describe your use case with greater specification when you refer to use at top of a HTML file. Austin...
Yes, I mean the "fragment: true" option. I was looking for a way to break a large .html file up into pieces that get included into a main .html file. For...
