Maybe you can tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I need to insert a <script> tag with Javascript in it. Tres told me to put the contents of the script tag in CDATA blocks which I did, and then when the template was rendered it still had the CDATA blocks so it was invalid javascript.

He also said to just put the javascript in the body of the script but xml escape it. Which I did, and when the template was rendered the data was still xml escaped and again invalid javascript.
