Why does a script tag under another script tag in FF not work?

[Sasha berd]

Hi guys!

I have a problem with FF:
'<script language="JavaScript1.2">'+editor_generate('answer _'+num,direction)+'<\/script>'; \\work in FF
'<script language="JavaScript1.2">'+editor_generate('explai n_'+num,direction)+'<\/script>';does not work in FF

In IE all works perfect!

Any suggestions?

What is <\/script> for?

Shouldn't it be

</script>

?

[Sasha berd]

this is my full code of function:

<script>
var counter=0;
 
function add_line(table_name,initial_count,direction){
    counter++;
 
    var num = eval( eval(counter)+eval(initial_count));
    //target_div =  document.getElementById(name);
    //target_div.innerHTML  += "<tr><td>1<td/><td>2</td><td>3</td><td>4</td></tr>";
    var tab = document.getElementById(table_name);
     var row = document.createElement('tr');
     var cell = document.createElement('td');     
     cell.innerHTML='<input type="checkbox" name="correct_'+num+'" id="correct_'+num+'"  value="1"  />';
     row.appendChild(cell);
     var cell = document.createElement('td');
     cell.innerHTML='<input type="checkbox" name="comment_'+num+'" id="comment_'+num+'"  value="1"  />';
     row.appendChild(cell);
     var cell = document.createElement('td');
     cell.innerHTML='<textarea rows="6" cols="55%" dir="'+direction+'" name="answer_'+num+'" id="answer_'+num+'" ></textarea>';
     row.appendChild(cell);
     var cell = document.createElement('td');      
 
     cell.innerHTML='<div id="feedback_textarea_'+num+'" style="display:none;" align="'+direction+'">'
    +'<textarea rows="5" cols="35" dir="direction" name="explain_'+num+'" id="explain_'+num+'" >'
    +'<s:property value="explain_text" /></textarea></div>'
    +'<input type="button" class="button" value="<s:property value="feedback_button"/>"'
    +'onclick='+"'"+'toggle("feedback_textarea_'+num+'",this,"<s:property value="feedback_button"/>","<s:property value="close_button"/>");'+"' >";
 
 
     row.appendChild(cell);
     tab.appendChild(row);         
     '<script language="JavaScript1.2">'+editor_generate('answer_'+num,direction)+'<\/script>';//Work on FF and IE
     '<script language="JavaScript1.2">'+editor_generate('explain_'+num,direction)+'<\/script>';does not work in FF but works in IE
 
 
 }
 
 
</script>

this is script tag in quotations so i need to write <\/script> otherwise no one of the browsers are not understand the code.

Any suggestions of problem?

In your first example, you have a space in one of the arguments. Also, there is no such thing as Vscript.

[Sasha berd]

Well, space is copy=> paste mistake from my code. Also if you want to use script tag in string quotation you have to use <\/script>!

[Plater]

I am abit curious why you need the script tags at all? You are already IN a javascript function yes?
Just run the code.

[Sasha berd]

Well you right Plater
I remove script tags:
editor_generate('answer_'+num,direction);
editor_generate('explain_'+num,direction);
The same problem the first row is working in FF and second is not....:((
In IE all work perfect(Of course);

[Plater]

The good thing about FF is that it has an error console (probably ctrl+shift+j) that will show your error.
Then if you have trouble you can tell us exactly what the error is

Thanks with you help i found an error in my script
Thank a lot Plater!!!
