hello world,
I'm new to Closure Compiler. I notice that if I use it from IE9
(Win7), and I copy the compiled output to the clipboard, questionmarks
are inserted every 100 chars or so. I first thought Closure Compiler
didn't compile ok.
In Google Chrome I didn't have that problem.

Are you using the closure-compiler.appspot.com? I would suggest using the download link. Look for the text:

Hi John, thanks!
Yes, meanwhile I have also downloaded Java and the offline-app now.
Also, it wouldn't be a problem to use Chrome, once I know it.
Only thought I'll give a warning, because it costed to find out what
was wrong; those questionmarks every once in a while are not so
noticeable.
It is strange, I don't know if IE9 adds questionmarks also in other
cases, when copying from a text-control.

What program are you pasting into? This worked fine for me when I copy
and pasted from IE9 into emacs.
and pasted from IE9 into emacs.
This is just an educated guess, but I strongly suspect that the
question marks are line feeds, and that there's some weird interaction
between how IE9 encodes line feeds, and how the program you're pasting
into doesn't display them properly (and so just renders them as
question marks). See this wikipedia article to learn 5x more than you
ever wanted to know about cross-platform incompatibilities in line
feed encoding:

hi Nick,
no, I thought the same thing as you, so I wrote down the file (I use a
text editor called TextPad, already some 15 years) and I dumped, and
they were really questionmarks (ascii 63)
But if I am the only one who encounters it, then maybe I did something
wrong or so, or I just happen to have the 1 : million combination of
circumstances that causes it.
(Strange that I have the feeling to be the 1 : million guy more times,
in other cases). If I find something about the mystery I'll post.
Anyway if someone in future runs into this, use Chrome.
regards, Jan Willem

hi Nick again,
you nailed in the right direction, it seems to be a TextPad thing. If
I paste from IE9 to Notepad: no questionmarks.
If I paste from Notepad to TextPad: yes questionmarks. If I paste from
Chrome to TextPad: no questionmarks.
Life is so weird. Thanks for the help.
