Ah, I thought it might be something xquery-related, usable on elements
other than 'script'.
Thanks for clarifying.

Interesting! Can you explain how/why that works?
It is just a javascript comment that keeps the element from closing :)

I reckon using a separate .js file is the way to go - I especially
appreciate the {' '} hint.
You could do away with ML processing for this type of thing if you
just used:
<script>//</script>

Thanks,

Subject: Re: [MarkLogic Dev General] embedded javascript problem
converting<
to < even though I'm using a CDATA section
I ran into similar problems with in-script and in-line javascript in
xquery pages, but all problems were mitigated by relocating all JS code
to *.js files and referencing them via <script type="text/javascript"
src="file.js">{' '}</script>, leaving only simple JS function calls in
my xquery code.
The {' '} is there between the script tags to prevent marklogic from
collapsing them into <script ... />.

embedded

the head element:
---------------------------------------------------------
<head><title>blah blah blah</title>

var foo = function() { alert('test') };
function clearForm(oForm) {

field_type = elements[i].type.toLowerCase();
switch(field_type) {
case "text":
case "password":
case "textarea":
case "hidden":
elements[i].value = "";
break;
case "radio":
case "checkbox":
if (elements[i].checked) {
elements[i].checked = false;
}
break;
case "select-one":
case "select-multi":
elements[i].selectedIndex = -1;
break;
default:
break;
}
}
}
]]>
</script>
</head>
