[Zope3-dev] Bad handling of <script> tag?

Mon Jul 12 10:13:39 EDT 2004

Hello,

I've just stumbled on a mismatch between the TAL implemetations on
Zope 2 and Zope 3. 

In Zope 2, the following is accepted in a page template:

<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
   if (cookiesEnabled && !cookiesEnabled()) {
      document.writeln('<div class="portalMessage"><img src="info.gif"/>Cookies are not enabled. You can not log in if they are turned off. <a href="enabling_cookies">How to enable cookies</a>.</div>');
   }
// ]]>
</script>

However, in Zope 3, it fails with a NestingError:

ERROR:root:PageTemplateFile: Error in template: Compilation failed
zope.tal.htmltalparser.NestingError: Open tags <html>, <body>, <div>,
<script> do not match close tag </a>, at line 63, column 189

AFAICS, Zope 2 had some special handling for this, which was done on
it's own HTMLParser module, which seems to have been moved into
Python's stdlib almost untouched. However, I can't seem to spot why it
isnt behaving accordingly.

Any help is appreciated!
