cross-domain javascript

Question

I am producing a javascript-based widget. Nothing complex just a few document.writes...

When I place it inline in the page it renders fine in all browsers. When I place it externally and load it via <script src="http://example.com/path/to/site"/> it fails to render in Firefox and IE but not Chrome.

Anyone know why and a possible workaround?

type="text/javascript" is not needed in the <script> tag since JavaScript is presumed as the default scripting language in every browser. You only need it for VBScript (if there's still somebody using it). — Andris

Maybe you should close it with </script> instead of XML-style.

somewhat amazingly in my opinion, this is the reason!

Yeah it's a rather silly one, but it's because (x)HTML pages are usually rendered with a HTML/SGML based render engine instead of XML, because most people serve them with a text/html content-type. I myself am used to typing <script />, but that's because I use XSL(t) for templates and the XSL library transforms it to </script> automatically so I don't have any problems.
