Hm, I haven't seen this posted here ...

Firefox now supports the -moz-binding CSS property, which associateXBL[1] with an element. The same origin policy is not applied. This is aproblem because XBL may contain JavaScript and it runs with full accessto content.

There is a bug report[2] filed, but it seems unlikely that it will befixed anytime soon.

This is a good time to consider using a CSS parser and whitelist tofilter style tags and attributes.


I've included a very simple example below.

Cheers,
