Bug 17412 – Lack of //--> before </script> causes rendering inaccessible (blank) a rest of the page

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: DUPLICATE
• Component: JavaScriptCore

[Bertrand Presles]

The http://gaia.hdfrench.com/rips.php website doesn't render well, even with both Safari 3.04 and latest WebKit nightly.

The console reports 2 errors:

SyntaxError: Parse error
http://gaia.hdfrench.com/rips.php (line 1309)

ReferenceError: Can't find variable: phpmyvisitesURL
http://gaia.hdfrench.com/stat/phpmyvisites.js (line 116)

Both error seems indeed true, as there is a </table> at the end of the page after the </html> which could explain the parse error, and as the phpmyvisitesURL  variable used in the pmv_log(phpmyvisitesURL, phpmyvisitesSite, pagename, a_vars); method call seems indeed not declared.

Use Firefox to see the page fully rendered.

Webkit as well as Opera does not forgive lack of closing comment tag:

"return false
}
//-->
</script>"

Adding "//-->" fixes problem. So Evangelism bug?
