Re: [Jmol-users] script in string

[Matthew Z. <mc...@gm...>]

If it's in the HTML page itself, wrapping the code in a CDATA section
should help:

<script>//<![CDATA[
var loadJmol = "<script> type='text/javascript'>addJmol(molecule,
divInc);</script>";
//]]></script>

Not sure on the compatibility factor for older browsers, but anything
recent should digest it just fine.
