This article was previously published under Q242552 SYMPTOMS
When you view Site Server 3.0 Search query results, the document abstract contains comments that are inside SCRIPT tags. For example, the following document:
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<script language="JavaScript" >
<!--
document.write( '<form action="" method="POST">')
document.write('<input type="button" name="Backbutton" value="Go Back"
onclick="history.back()">')
document.write(location.pathname)
document.write('"><img src="/test.gif"
border="0"></a>')
document.write('</form><BR> ')
document.close()
// -->
</script>
</head>
<BODY BGCOLOR='#FFFFFF'TEXT='#000000'>
Hello World!
</body>
</html>
Produces an abstract that looks like:
') document.write(' ') document.close() // --> > Hello World!
However, the the abstract should look like:
Hello World!
CAUSE
In some cases, the Site Server HTML filter does not recognize the text as being inside the script tags, and treats the text as part of the document body.

<META name="Description" contents="Place the document description here.">
STATUS This problem was first corrected in Microsoft Site Server 3.0 Service Pack 3.
