Not very well.  Using Opera context-menu Validate, W3 appears to accept
'<script type="text/javscript">'.


For the OP:

When a function shows no sign of functioning, the first thing to do is
to make sure that it is being read, for example by inserting
   ...  // ... is a literal
and checking that the error console does not get a report of that.  Then
change ... to ying-tong-iddle-I-po which almost certainly will show an
error on execution.

If an entire script shows no sign of working, insert a magic word at its
beginning, and check the console.

Outside the Principality at least, the word
"Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch" should work
too.
