Won't work on FireFox

Something is wrong, the </script> tag in the string for some reason is
the cause from what I can figure. When I remove it, it runs but not as
it should since it is a broken HTML then.

<html><head></head><body>
<script language="javascript">
function showme(){
a=window.open("","Thank You","status=1,width=350,height=150");
a.document.write('<html><body><img
src="http://www.google.com/intl/en/images/logo.gif"><script
language="javascript">window.location="http://www.aol.com"</script></body></html>');

a.document.close();}
showme();
</script>
</body></html>

The JS interpreter sees the </script> inside your string and closes the
script. This may not be the Right Thing, but a simple workaround would
be to replace </script> with </'+'script inside the string.

It is "the right thing", and there are further errors in the markup that the
validator would pick up.

Simpler would be: <\/script>

And that can still cause errors. It's not the "JS interpreter" but
rather the HTML parser that looks, and it isn't looking for </script>,
it can simply look for </ and end the script block.

The "correct" solution is to escape the / in the tag:

<\/script>
