How to put "</script>" in a javascript string?
it is because of the \ I believe. i have no concrete explanation since I am a newbie to Javascript but this code should work:
alert("<script><\/script>");
came up with it using Java knowledge.. Haha since the \ is an escape key in many languages.

I've been trying some tricks in javascript and came to a ridiculous problem: I can't use
<script>as a substring in a javascript string! Here is an example:<html> <head> <script> alert("<script></script>"); </script> </head> </html>It supposed to print out
<script></script>, but instead, I get this:");Printed out on the page, as HTML.
Question: How can I use
<script>followed by</script>substrings in Javascript, and why is it acting that way?Here is JSFiddle of it.
