Problem with a regular expression

Why isn't the following creating a match? I'm trying to get it to return everything between the <script> tags but it's not. The commented out regex is working in that it finds everything from the beginning <script> tag to the ending </script> tag. But it's not returning any matches. I've been banging my head up against the wall on this for hours and I'm at a total loss.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

thnx,
Christoph
