Given that particular error (which, as far as I know, should not  
occur in HTML since script elements contain CDATA) and that you are  
using Drupal, I'm going to hazard a guess that when you say "HTML"  
you mean "XHTML".

In which case read: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.8 and http:// 
www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#C_4 noting "Use external scripts if your script  
uses <" (which your script does).

I'd also suggest http://www.webdevout.net/articles/beware-of-xhtml  
combined with a switch to HTML (which works in most user agents  
without having to jump through hoops to pretend it is HTML instead of  
XHTML)
