Formating a HTML page with JavaScript having a html tags in a String corrupts the source. e.g. alert("<div></div>") results in alert("_$tag</div>") Reproduce with this simple html and execute "Source > Format" <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> alert("<div></div>") </script> </head> <body> </html> As a result the first '<div>' will be replaced with '_$tag'. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> alert("_$tag</div>") </script> </head> <body> </html> Every further execution will change the next tag too, so after two format executions, it will end as: alert("_$tag_$tag_")
