Ok, the problem is with the --> that ends the javascript-containing comment used to hide the code from very old user-agents not recognizing that script element. NetBeans 7.2 (and all major rendering engines -- Trident, Gecko, Presto, WebKit, KHTML) allowed for --> while NetBeans 7.3 only allows for //--> (which actually is the right way to do it, but no javascript engine has ever complained about the missing //, and neither did NB7.2, so it looks like a regression. Sort of.). NetBeans 7.3 uses different JavaScript parser - Nashorn. It's more strict than Rhino that was used in NetBeans 7.2 - Rhino parser.
Simple reproducible case:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var result = 20;
-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
I will see what I can do on the NetBeans site.
(I accidentally created the bug as P4 instead of default's P3) |
Created attachment 131683 [details] Screenshot Error shows up for javascript in .JSP files which were OK for NetBeans 7.2.1. Projects that were fine for NB 7.2 are now invalid for NB 7.3: have to switch back to 7.2 until upgrade gets seamless.
