Re: The SCRIPT element

This is not the way IE7, IE8b1 and Opera 9.5 does.
But this is in fact right in FireFox 2+ and Safari 3.

I also found a strange bug in Opera 9.5.
If you push the "fit to screen button"
(whatever the old state was), the
script appears on the screen.

If we have <script><!-- --></script> display, we should
see no content in the script (because this is a comment
that's in the script). But in Firefox and Safari, we see
the <!-- --> as plain text. In Opera, after the "fit" button
was pressed, we can see the "<!-- -->".
