Okay - this is the dumbest glitch I have seen in a while:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<script type='text/javascript'>
var data = "</script>";
</script>
</head>
<body>
This should break!
</body>
</html>
This causes syntax errors because the JavaScript parser is actually reading the contents of the string. How stupid!
How can I put </script> in my code. Is there any way?
Is there a valid reason for this behavior?
