I've been writing a small app using the latest ASP.Net MVC Beta and JQuery - for fun and for work - and got caught out by a problem I'm sure Ive had before.

When ever you have a script tag dont self close it like this:

For me this would stop all subsequent scripts from executing and sometimes result in a completly blank page.   I had the same result in Firefox and IE 7.  Instead, allways have a seperate end tag:

<script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/jquery-1.2.6.min.js"></script>

Happy New Year :)
