+ document.lastModified + '<\/font><\/i>');
//-->
</script>

1. go to page
2.
3.
This happens in all the subpages too, that is,
all the major links of www.psych.upenn.edu
This is strict mode only. Marking confirmed. Possibly related to bug 45975,
"document.write in strict dtd crashes browser".

The problem is not that document.write() doesn't work in strict mode, the proble
is that the strict DTD doesn't allow script tags any place other than as immediate
children of the head and body tags in the document.
This is a dupe of bug 42388.

Reopening. Bug 42388 is, at this point, only for invalid pages. The HTML on
this page is valid. Making the "written" HTML valid (by putting it in a P)
doesn't help either.
The SCRIPT element is showing up in the content model, but with no content.
Does script content normally show up in the content model?

David, I thought the SCRIPT can be contained only in the HEAD or BODY. If that's
true then the page is not a valid HTML.
"The SCRIPT element places a script within a document. This element may appear
any number of times in the HEAD or BODY of an HTML
document."

'in the body' doesn't mean the same as 'a direct child of the body'.
Since the script's parent, a cell (<td>), is in the body, so is the script.
In the DTD, SCRIPT is contained in the %special group, which means it can appear
anywhere that A and BR can, for example, as well as as a direct child of <body>,
<form>, and <head>, where it is included explicitly.
Thanx. I think this is a dup of bug 46392 [ have a fix in hand ].
