Hi all
I want the following line to appear on my PAGE, not the HTML document

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”foo.js”> </script>

I tried using <pre> tag or <verbatim> it wouldn’t work. When opened, the line just disappears.

ANy ideas?

@David_HarrisonOct 11.2004 — As a genral rule, there are 3 special characters that you cannot use on your page without encoding them first, these characters are "&lt;" "&gt;" and "&amp;". The &lt; and &gt; characters are obviously used for HTML and the &amp; symbol is used when encoding characters, therefore if you just want &amp; to show on the page and you do not encode it then sometimes it can cause problems. To encode these symbols you need to do this:

< is &amp;lt;
> is &amp;gt;

&amp; is &amp;amp;

Therefore NogDog's solution was half right, but you really should go all the way and write it like this:

&amp;lt;script type="text/javascript" src="foo.js"&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/script&amp;gt;

Success!
