Question

If I add this piece of html to my page:

<script type="text/javascript">
 var s = '</script>'
</script>

IE 7.0 shows a syntax error (exclamation mark in left bottom corner): “Unterminated string constant”

if I change just one letter (any) the error disappears – looks like IE doesn’t like this particular word, including brackets.

Any ideas why?

Thank you,
Andrey

This works for me

var a = "<\/script>"
