<script> Tag cannot be self closed?
- by Joe Hopfgartner
I had this code in my Website
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.4.min.js"/>
<script type='text/javascript' src='/lib/player/swfobject.js'></script>
swfobject was not working (not loaded).
After altering the code to:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.4.min.js"></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='/lib/player/swfobject.js'></script>
It worked fine.
The document was parsed as HTML5.
I think its funny. Okay, granted a tag that is closed and a self closing tag are not the same. So i would understand if jquery couldnt load. Altough i find it rediciulous. But what i do not understand is that jquery loads but the following, correctly written tag, doesnt?
