You're using an XML parser, but HTML is not necessarily XML.  You could 
try to get the file past the XML parser by wrapping the JavaScript parts 
as per "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDATA".  If you still have trouble 
after that, you can also convert your HTML to XHTML (which line of 
development is abandoned by the W3C, in favor of the HTML5 school of 
thought, but you can still use XHTML), and get it to run through an 
XHTML or XML validator.

If you instead want to try a Racket-syntax-based HTML templating, see 
"http://www.neilvandyke.org/racket-html-template/".  I also started 
working on a package to make this work more efficiently with the Racket 
Web Server, "http://www.neilvandyke.org/racket-web-server-xexp/", 
although I've abandoned the "web-server-xexp" work in favor of other 
serving approaches, so don't expect updates on that particular package.

BTW, for parsing HTML, you want to use a specialized HTML parser. My old 
one is currently available as 
"http://www.neilvandyke.org/racket-html-parsing/".  Note that it outputs 
the SXML format, which is a little different than the "xexpr" format.  
(I previously tried to unify these two formats, then discarded that 
work, since SXML is simply better in some important ways than either 
"xexpr" or the unified thing I came up with.  I'm currently trying to 
get a couple new features added to the SXML standard, to make it even 
better for HTML.)
