[plt-scheme] html in servlets

This would work for:
<script language="JavaScript">
  if (a < b)
    a = b;
</script>

(because of the < symbol)

Javascript code is either contained as the content of a SCRIPT element, or
contained in an external file, so there shouldn't be any problem with it,
because it's not interpreted as HTML.

I don't use XML boxes myself, but I use Javascript in s-exp code (x-exprs)
like this:

   (script ([src "someprogram.js"]))
   (script "function getValue() { return 42; }" )

Note that in the second case, in an XML box, you shouldn't need to quote the
strings.  You should just be able to write:

<script>
function getValue() { return 42; }
</script>

If that doesn't work, post the details.

Anton
