I have to do: <script src="foo.js"></script> I think it should be enough to do: <script src="foo.js" /> Posted from: 212.247.162.243 User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:10.0.2) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0.2 65015 1 annevk 2012-03-05 13:45:29 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.

Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: Proposed change breaks backwards compatibility and breaks compatibility with content such as <script/>alert("aliens")</script> which unfortunately exists. 65073 2 nicholas.stimpson 2012-03-06 21:58:05 +0000 (In reply to comment #1) What about in foreign content? The spec says <script/> closes the element but doesn't run the script. Chrome does that, but Firefox closes the element and runs the script. 65075 3 nicholas.stimpson 2012-03-06 22:06:06 +0000 (In reply to comment #2) Clarifications: (a) I'm not the original bug raiser. (b) I'm talking about the svg script element of course. 65095 4 zcorpan 2012-03-07 09:05:17 +0000 The SVG case is interesting. I think that's a spec bug. http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/saved/1363 70452 5 contributor 2012-07-18 07:31:10 +0000 This bug was cloned to create bug 17995 as part of operation convergence. 73841 6 silviapfeiffer1 2012-09-14 05:10:49 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
