Close HTML-tags inside JS variables are cut?

[motomac]

I put simple JS code into a hook:

<script type='text/javascript'>
  var a = "<div>";
  var b = "</div>";
</script>

But in the page it renders like:

<script type="text/javascript">
  var a = "<div>";
  var b = "";
</script>

Why?

That sounds like a bug.

@Mark I reported it here:

Please, provide a patch If you confirm it. I can't proceed with my plugin because of this bug. Thank you!
