You're inserting a script tag, which means the code should be
evaluated. Don't you want to use a <code> or <pre> tag instead? Or do
you want the text "<script..." to actually show up?
Just think in terms of how you would do this if you were just writing
a boring old HTML page. For instance, if you actually want the
characters "<script ....." to show up in the rendered page, how would
you do that? That's right, "<script ....."
