Bug: escape char in JavaScript string shows false error

Post by pmk65 »

Example:

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">
var code1 = '<body><script>for (var i=0;i<399;i++) {document.write(i+"<br>");};</script></body>';
var code2 = '<body><script>for (var i=0;i<399;i++) {document.write(i+"<br>");};<\/script></body>';
</script>
WeBuilder will highlight the 2nd line in red, indicating an error. But the code IS valid, and adding an escape character before the "/script" is the correct way to prevent the HTML parser from recognizing it as a tag.
There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary and those who don't.

It appears that <script> in those strings confuses JSHint. Try changing it to something like var code2 = '<body><'+'script>...';
