[issue13358] HTMLParser incorrectly handles cdata elements.

[Michael Brooks]

Michael Brooks <firealwaysworks at gmail.com> added the comment:

Oah,  then there is a misunderstanding.  No browser will parse the html
that is declared within a javascript variable,  it must be treated as a
continues data segment (with cdata properties) until the exit
</\s*script\s*> is encountered (and if this tag found anywhere,  even in a
quoted string it will still terminate this data segment,  because its a
cdata element).   The snip of html provided must only be a single data
segment. </ alone is not a proper terminator.
