Anyway, your content break problem could be due to some other reason. Browsers can actually recognise empty tags like &lt;tag/&gt; actually.

Ah, sorry - totally forgot to award the points on this question. I did follow a similar method to those posted above, and so I'll split the points evenly between runa_paathak and TimYates. Additionally, I came across this method, which I have started using of late:<br />
<br />
&lt;![CDATA[<br />
&lt;script language=&quot;javascript&quot; src=&quot;myscriptpath.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/sc<wbr />ript&gt;<br />
]]&gt;

Hello experts,<br />
<br />
I'm writing a webapp using JSP and the Spring Framework. One of my pages makes use of a substantial amount of JavaScript code, which I'm trying to include as an external file using the &lt;script&gt; tag, i.e.<br />
<br />
&lt;script language=&quot;javascript&quot; src=&quot;...&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, this is being parsed and sent to the browser as:<br />
<br />
&lt;script language=&quot;javascript&quot; src=&quot;...&quot; /&gt;<br />
<br />
Which breaks the content of the page (as the browser is still expecting the closing &lt;/script&gt; tag). Does any one have a solution to get round this?<br />
<br />
Many thanks,<br />
<br />
Darren.

Hello experts,

I'm writing a webapp using JSP and the Spring Framework. One of my pages makes use of a substantial amount of JavaScript code, which I'm trying to include as an external file using the <script> tag, i.e.

<script language="javascript" src="..."></script>

Unfortunately, this is being parsed and sent to the browser as:

Which breaks the content of the page (as the browser is still expecting the closing </script> tag). Does any one have a solution to get round this?

Many thanks,

JSP Parsing Script tag

JavaServer Pages (JSP) allow the development of dynamically generated web pages. It uses the Java programming language; JSP pages are translated into servlets at runtime, with each servlet being cached and reused until the JSP is modified. JSP allows Java code to be interleaved with static web markup content, so the resulting page can be compiled and executed on the server to deliver the content.
