Hi Barton, For an explanation of why self-closing tags can be an issue with browsers see this question on stack exchange:

It’s a completely valid construction. Nevertheless, perhaps the addthis.com site is expecting some content inside the <script></script> pair. You could place a space or even a non-breaking space character ( or its Unicode equivalent) just before the </script> to see if that preserves the closing </script>. Let us know what worked when you figure it out! > Hi guys, > > I'm trying to add the below to each chunked html page. > > <script type="text/javascript" > src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=XXX"></script> > <div class="addthis_sharing_toolbox"/> > > What happens is that the <script> tag gets shortened to > > <script type="text/javascript" > src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=XXX"/> > > ie. the redundant closing tag is removed and the end slash added. > > This stops the rest of the html being displayed.
