According to tests on my side regarding this exemple: - can change the letter "a" (in "<a") to whatever letter + add other letters - cannot suppress other character after "<script>" but lot more character can be added in the <script>..</script> part - the position of the unexpected extra character changes according to the number of characters/line in the <script>..</script> part In the code where I noticed the problem, there where many characters before the <script> part, which itself included several JS functions.
