How to add javascript script tag in XSL file

Question

I want to add code shown below in my XSL but it is not displaying properly when I generate it in HTML.

<head>
  <script src='https://js.dmtry.com/channel.js#gid:3299;advid:899;pid:389827'> </script>
</head>

The script tag is not closing properly when generated in HTML.

Which XSLT processor do you use, which input do you have, which output do you get, which output do you want? Post small but complete samples allowing us to reproduce the problem. — Martin Honnen

Does that happen with any type of script src? Or only when you reference https://js.dmtry.com/channel.js#gid:3299;advid:899;pid:389827? I don't see anything wrong with your posted script element syntax, neither in terms of HTML nor in terms of XSLT. What happens when you write a static HTML document with <script src='https://js.dmtry.com/channel.js#gid:3299;advid:899;pid:389827'> </script>, does the browser load and display it as you want? — Martin Honnen

Perhaps you are saying you are getting this as the output:

<script src="https://js.dmtry.com/channel.js#gid:3299;advid:899;pid:389827"/>

When, actually, you are expecting this:

<script src="https://js.dmtry.com/channel.js#gid:3299;advid:899;pid:389827"></script>

If so, try specifying the output method in your XSLT as "html", like so:

<xsl:output method="html" />
