Editor Javascript bug?

Having a little problem with the page editor, if i'm adding a little javascript like

Code:
    for (i=0; i<categories.length;i++)
    {
        var option = document.createElement("Option");
        option.value = boundaries[i];
        option.text = categories[i];
        option.style.fontWeight = "bold";
        try { lstA.add(option,null); }
        catch (e) { lstA.add(option); }
    }

the page gets generated with:

Code:
        for (i=0; i<categories fontWeight="bold" .length;i++)
        {
            var option = document.createElement("Option");
            option.value = boundaries[i];
            option.text = categories[i];
            option.style.;
            try { lstA.add(option,null); }
            catch (e) { lstA.add(option); }
        }

Yes, this one is wacky. Its not an issue with the editor - same thing would happen via the API - the problem is with some of the post processing we do in visualforce. That logic is identifying <categories as the start of a tag. The workaround for now is to put some whitespace between the < and categories.

I do get a warning in the online VF page editor:

Warning: Element type "categories" should be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>". at line 3

I've opened a bug for my team to track this issue.

Ah excellent, didn't even think of that as it was happening when I put the line in with speach marks. Cheers!
