Jake,
Thank you very much.
I just tested this at couple of pages where I knew the problem existed.
Here's a "new" work-around.
Since Arachne v1.60b1 now supports F7 search while in an F4 edit screen,
it's easier than ever before.
When the "< within JS" problem occurs:
1) F4 to edit the page
2) F7 and search for </scr
3) insert a > just before that tag { </script> becomes ></script> }
4) F2 to save and view
IMO,
It should be pointed-out that this _is_ an Arachne "bug" which still
needs to be fixed.
To duplicate this problem:
1) press H to show your hotlist
2) F4 and delete the > from the end of this line
<!-- start of Hotlist Manager output -->
3) F2 to save and view. {everything after <HR SIZE=6> will be blank}
4) F4 and put the > back in.
5) F2 to get your hotlist back.
