Description:
------------
If the inline javascript has a for loop with a '>' and '<' character, the parsing breaks.
Test script:
---------------
<html>
<head> Test </head>
<body>
<span id='TestString'>This is a test <span>
<script>
/* Success Handler for YUI Get Script calls */
Test.onScriptsLoaded = function() {
//console.log('onscriptsloaded');
for(var i=0;i<Test.GetScriptsCode.length;i++){
//console.log(Test.GetScriptsCode[i]);
Test.GetScriptsCode[i]();
}
};
</script>
</body>
</html>
Parsing this produces broken JavaScript since the parser consumes the '<' character
for(var i=0;i Test.GetScriptsCode.length;i++){
^^^
Expected result:
----------------
The text in the script block should be treated as a one chunk and returned for processing with </script> invoking the end tag handler

Well; https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Properly_Using_CSS_and_JavaScript_in_XHTML_Documents should really be utilized; but since this is a package for parsing badly formed html... :(
Any ideas how other implementors deal with it?

Also; if you are usiing PHP 5.3; there are better options around - http://php.net/tidy + http://php.net/simplexml

Start by having a look at http://pear.php.net/package/XML_HTMLSax3 instead, it's the newest version of the package.
