Naturally your examples do not error since you have demonstrated a JavaScript string containing the text "</script>" which is not contained within "real" script tags. My onus however, was not to prove that EVERY arbitrary "</script>" embedded within a JS string in an HTML document would error but rather the possibility of such errors were not an "edge case". Your examples, while accurate, do not preclude the many ways JS strings can and are contained within real script tags.
Regardless of how you want to classify the behavior, these facts still remain: -- The CF Docs appear to only be accurate based on how tightly you define "safe". -- The Docs make no official note that the jsstringformat will NOT produce a string which can safely be output within script tags in an HTML page. -- It is my opinion that this caveat is not obvious enough to assume readers will consider it. -- The CF docs are for public consumption, not for a super-elite ring of CFer's who already have intimate knowledge of the language. Ahh... we have digressed far-- as usual. My original intent was not to pick on the Docs, but to provoke open-minded discussion and elicit examples of how other people had dealt with the topic. I'd say we've beaten the former into the ground (as usual) but never touched the latter. ~Brad ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:295611 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
