Nope - it's the same (using Mozilla 1.6a). I've quit the browser (and its email client), deleted all the files in its cache folder (no hidden files or directories there), restarted and it's still there.
Here's the offending piece of code:
>Document.Write('<script language="JavaScript"
>src="http://hitcounter01.xspp.com/hitcounter.php?xsppHCid=7XMEU47HQU47,' +
> Math.random() + ',2"></script><\/script>');
It seems that the beginning < script tag is recognized by the browser, and of course the ending one is not because it has the escape character (backslash) between the < and /.
No big deal - how many times do you expect to find Javascript quoted
with the script - /script tags included? Once a year? This is a border case anyway; we're using HTML and JavaScript to talk about HTML and JavaScript, and then use HTML and JavaScript to read what we wrote. Sooner or later there's a case where this sort of self-reference confuses some browsers.
I'm more worried about the browsers which didn't have this prolem - does this mean that any <script tag would be ignored if placed between pre-/pre tags?
(Update - I tried to reply to this message, same problem. Updating the message, however, works.)
