Thanks for the clever ideas, but I'm not really looking for a
workaround -- I have one in the <!-- comment --> approach.
I'm wondering why the Tapestry template parser, which theoretically
handles XML, can't parse CDATA.

I don't suppose you could just double-escape and sidestep the
problem e.g.
if (foo %gt bar) alert('hello world');?
Alternately you could do what I've always done and put all the
scripts in external script files and just put the function calls in
the
.html file. Here, for example, is the script that actually gets
called from
the template snippet below.
The definition:
<context-asset name="question_js" path="/script/SurveyQuestion.js"/>
<component id="questionScript" type="Any">
<static-binding name="element" value="script"/>
<binding name="src" expression="assets.question_js"/>
</component>
The .html
<script jwcid="questionScript" language="JavaScript"
type="text/javascript"/>
The .js file
function changeType() {
var choice = getElementById('choice');
var number = getElementById('number');
var text = getElementById('text');
var number_span = getElementById('number_span');
var spanstart = getElementById('spanstartrow');
var spanend = getElementById('spanendrow');
var spanstarttag = getElementById('spanstarttagrow');
var spanendtag = getElementById('spanendtagrow');
var optionlist = getElementById('optionlist');
// we hide everything and unhide as needed
spanstart.style.display='none';
spanend.style.display='none';
spanstarttag.style.display='none';
spanendtag.style.display='none';
optionlist.style.display='none';
if (choice != null && choice.checked) {
optionlist.style.display='';
}
if (number != null && number.checked) {
}
if (text != null && text.checked) {
}
if (number_span != null && number_span.checked) {
spanstart.style.display='';
spanend.style.display='';
spanstarttag.style.display='';
spanendtag.style.display='';
}
}

Yes: anytime you use, say, the < operator, Tapestry tries to read it
as a tag.

I've got a couple of pages that embed regular old javascript
without
any problems e.g.
<input type="submit" jwcid="@Submit"
listener="ognl:listeners.questionTest"
label="Test This Question" />
<!-- initialize the data -->
<script>changeType()</script>

Subject: CDATA in Tapestry templates?
Tapestry doesn't seem to understand CDATA-escaped Javascript. I get
errors like this:
Tag <![CDATA[> on line 183 contains more than one 'noDrag'
attribute.
...when I have something like this in the page:
<script type="text/javascript"> //<![CDATA[
dragCat = null;
dropCat = null;
noDrag = false;
...
Seems to work if I use <!-- commends --> instead of CDATA, though
this prevents me from using the decrement operator (--) in my
Javascript.
Shouldn't the template parser respect CDATA? Tapestry templates are
XML, right?
Cheers,
Paul
