User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_2; en-US) AppleWebKit/532.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.307.9 Safari/532.9
Build Identifier: 

If you have a section that is highlighted as Javascript (because you have written <script> before for example) and you add the piece "</script>" in quotes or within a comment, this makes the javascript section to end.

To fix this, the </script> tag has to be ignored if it's inside of a quote or comment.

Reproducible: Always

ACETRANSITION

The Skywriter project has merged with Ajax.org's Ace project (the full server part of which is their Cloud9 IDE project). Background on the change is here:

http://mozillalabs.com/skywriter/2011/01/18/mozilla-skywriter-has-been-merged-into-ace/

The bugs in the Skywriter product are not necessarily relevant for Ace and quite a bit of code has changed. For that reason, I'm closing all of these bugs. Problems that you have with Ace should be filed in the Ace issue tracker at GitHub:
