I don't know if this is something broken on my end as this seems like it
would be a pretty common practice, but I am running into a problem when
including a JavaScript file in my web page. My page (.aspx) is pretty
straight-forward, but when I use ending tag inside the <script> block,
instead of having a separate </script> tag, my page renders, but is blank,

if I have:
<script language="javascript" src="js/common.js" />
The page comes up blank, but if I change it to:
<script language="javascript" src="js/common.js"></script>
The page looks fine.
When the page does come up blank, I can view/source and it looks like it is
all there, but (my guess) is it thinks everything is in the <script> block?
Is this right? I must be missing something...

Browsers don't understand "/>". They ignore the "/" character and wait for
the closing tag "</script>". You should always close the script block with
"</script>".
the closing tag "</script>". You should always close the script block with
"</script>".
Closing tags with "/>" is accepted in XML, not in old HTML.
