Bug Description

My CHM file contained some javascript which caused ERR011 error messages by htmldoc.
No effort is done in chm2pdf to delete javascript (some other unwanted stuff is deleted before passing all to the htmldoc part).
I am no expert of regex, so the following may not be a good and complete solution, but at least in my case one ERR011 is gone!
# Delete javascript (<script type='text/javascript'>...</script>)
page=re.sub('(?i)<script type=("|\')text/javascript("|\')(.*?)>(.*?)</script>','', page, flags=re.DOTALL|re.MULTILINE)

delete javascript patch Edit (683 bytes, text/plain)

This is the first time I try to generate a patch... hope this is correct!

- added a regex to delete javascript: (?i)<script[^>]*>(.*?)</script>
