Come to think of it, though, this causes a problem in that you can't get a '>' character into the script without it also ending the unknown-tag on pre-script browsers. Which is a bit harsh. I offer, then, this even more aesthetically questionable solution: <script type="text/javascript"><!-- // --><![CDATA[ // ><!-- (scripting) // --><!]]></script> Which I think should work on XML parsers and tag-soup browsers, with only the sequences "--", "</" and "]]>" taboo in the scripting. It works on everything I've tried here, except of course Mozilla which uses an XML parser but fails to understand CDATA marked sections altogether.
