I have an XHTML 1.0 transitional conforming page loading an external javascript
by using a selfcontained <script ..... />.
A function defined inline (and wrapped in CDATA which seems to have no effect
whatsoever on mozilla ) right afterwards is ignored ( see URL )




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load URL



Actual Results:  
Error 'say is not defined' in Javascript Console

Expected Results:  
Popup stateing 'This is a test'

Change the URL to http://dev.stage.tow.de/mozilla/working.html to see the
'working' version ( <script ... />  became <script ...></script> )

This bug - though i consider it 'normal' priority - is pretty annoying to me,
since  the html is generated using XSL and/or DOM where empty tags are
'optimized'  so i can hardly work around this problem.
You're serving the page as "text/html" but using XML syntax, which we don't
support and should not support. Use the correct MIME-type
("application/xml+xhtml" or "application/xml") or stop generating this kind of
XHTML. (See XHTML 1.0 Appendix C for some guidelines on
"backwards-compatibility"). INVALID.

Resolution: INVALID → DUPLICATE
Whether <script ... /> is invalid or not, it's pretty hard for me to believe that the desired behavior is to render a blank screen with no error messages in the js console.  This drove me crazy for about 30 minutes trying to debug!

This bug should not be marked resolved until it at least displays an error message *somewhere* in the browser.
An error message on the console would certainly be nice.  Please file a new bug report for that.
