Go to Edit > Preferences > Code Hinting.
Put a check mark by Close tags after typing the open "<" tags.
Hit OK.

2. Re: Dreamweaver does not auto-complete </script> tag
Good afternoon,
Yes Nancy O. - that was simply something I forgot to mention. I have that feature set and Dreamweaver will auto-close every other tag that I use. It is just the script tag that does not auto-close.
Here is another interesting tidbit of information: If I choose: after typing the opening tag's ">" I get the </script> as expected. I just do NOT prefer this to the choice: After typing the "</"
I wonder if others have similar a similar issue.
Thanks,
Don.

I can't reproduce this in CS6. Do you have the latest udpates for your product?

4. Re: Dreamweaver does not auto-complete </script> tag
Good afternoon again Nancy,
I have installed those updates and I still have the problem. In fact, all of the developers here that I have talked with (there are 8 of us) all experience the same thing.
Every tag closes except for the script tag, unless we set the close preference to close after typing the opening tag's ">" - which none of us want. I'm not sure what else I should look at.
Are there any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Don. -
5. Re: Dreamweaver does not auto-complete </script> tag
Hello yet again,
When I type the </ I briefly (line half-a-second) see the script tag that should go there. But then, I see a prompt at the top of the HTML Tag library. It doesn't select ANY tag, but is wanting me to scroll through the list to get to the the tag that I want, in this case the SCRIPT tag.

I can reproduce your symptoms, and I've learned to live with it. I'm using the permanent CS6 (not Cloud).

That's just how DW works.
You can file a bug report if you think it will do any good.

Nancy,
Thank you for your help. I find no value in entering a bug report asking Adobe to have Dreamweaver close all tags when I select one of the close tags options. I would have expected that to be obvious.
I do appreciate your time and help though. I, like Murray Summers will learn to live with it.

1 person found this helpfulI think this is very intentional on the part of Adobe's development folks. I think the reason they have left it this way all these years is because you can use one or many </ in a javascript and not be in the process of writing the end tag for the opening <script>.
In my opinion, it would get more than a little annoying to have to undo the auto-insert every time you wanted to have a javascript write html into your page and it kept closing the <script> instead of allowing you to choose to close it or not.

10. Re: Dreamweaver does not auto-complete </script> tag
Good morning all,
Ok, Jon, thank you. I've not used a lot of </ within the scripts that I've written so, so far, that hasn't been a problem for me. Your explanation makes sense though. It also explains why it works if you select the option to: close after typing the opening tag's ">". Because once the opening and closing tags have been populated, entering </ would have no effect on the scripot tag at all.
Very nice response Jon. This behavior is crystal clear now and in fact, it seems to be a feature, not a bug.
Thank you,
Don.
