Going to http://www.skype.com/allfeatures/callphones/ shows a blank page. Firefox shows the page as expected. The same happens both in released Safari 3.04 and in nightly r29120.

Created attachment 18251 [details] Reduced test case The erroneous behaviour is triggered by the following snippet: <script type="text/javascript"> //<!--[CDATA[ //]]> </script> <!-- Extra comment --> Firefox sees the initial comment as ending inside the script element, while WebKit treats it as extending past "Extra comment".

According to html5lib, WebKit does what the spec says here.

(In reply to comment #7) > According to html5lib, WebKit does what the spec says here. "View source" doesn't actually show the entire source. While it may be intended, the parser dying should be fixed.

1. Safari "View Source" does show the entire source. 2. What do you mean by "parser dying"? A crash? Since we do what HTML5 tells us to do, the most direct route forward is to discuss this issue with WhatWG or W3C HTML5 work groups.

Fixed by the HTML5 parser.
