(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: kjs Version: KDE 2.1.2 Severity: normal Installed from: Debian Packages Compiler: gcc version 2.95.4 20010721 (Debian prerelease) OS: Linux OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified Konqueror incorrectly ignores javascript inside HTML comments. For example: <SCRIPT><!--- function svcdb_change (svcdb) { alert("rawr!!!"); } --></SCRIPT> does not work but: <SCRIPT> function svcdb_change (svcdb) { alert("rawr!!!"); } </SCRIPT> works fine. The first snippet above works in IE Netscape and Mozilla. Since enclosing JavaScript in HTML comment tags is very common and suggested by many tutorials/books/etc (to "hide the script from old browsers") I suggest that Konqueror should ignore HTML comments inside <SCRIPT> tags. If you need any additional information please don't hesitate to contact me. For cross-reference this is debian bug #100386 (Submitted via bugs.kde.org)
