Blogger Bug - Corrupted Javascript for() loops

The Bug

Twice, when I have had call to write a javascript implementation for a blogspot page I have found that everything beneath the first line of a for() loop is chewed up, garbled, and spit back out upon saving it. Blogger doesn't throw an error of any kind, it just saves your code to the gadget, having silently mutated and destroyed what was written. This is observed by simply returning to the gadget via the edit button. There the code will be corrupt.

Example

<script type="text/javascript">

function addPlayers() {
     var allmp3s = document.getElementsByName('mp3');
     for (i=0;i<allmp3s.length;i++){
             var mp3Player = buildEmbed(allmp3s[i]);
             allmp3s[i].insertBefore(document.createElement('br'), allmp3s[i].firstChild);
             allmp3s[i].insertBefore(mp3Player, allmp3s[i].firstChild);
     }
}
</script>

Paste the code above into an HTML/Javascript gadget and save it. Now click edit to return to the code. Others have confirmed that as of this post's date blogspot corrupts it like so:

<script type="text/javascript">
function addPlayers() {
      var allmp3s = document.getElementsByName('mp3');
      for (i=0;i<allmp3s.length;i++){
}
}
mp3player="buildEmbed(allmp3s[i]);
" br var allmp3s[i].firstchild);
allmp3s[i].insertbefore(document.createelement( ),
allmp3s[i].insertbefore(mp3player,></script>

Workaround

Simply use another type of loop. A while() loop and a counter variable can be used to do accomplish the same results your for() loop might have. I haven't observed Blogger to corrupt while() loops.
