It sounds as though you're outputting HTML, but not using the HTML
output method. The HTML output method should not escape less-than
signs in script elements. To use the HTML output method, do:

<xsl:output method="html" />

Chuck Evans' suggestion of putting the script in an external file and
referencing it is an even better solution if you're not generating
parts of the JavaScript on the fly.

I hope that helps,

Jeni
