Don't use tags within the script tag, the HTML spec specifically forbids
that. I use the following construct for transferring Zope data into
javascript variables, this is a real life example:

<script type="text/javascript" tal:content="structure string:
    portalURL = &quot;${here/portal_url}&quot;
    editionURL = &quot;${here/absolute_url}&quot;
" />
<script type="text/javascript">
// Your code goes here
</script>

The first script tag has its contents dictated by the tal:content attribute.
The second script tag has access to whatever you define in the context of
the first, including the Zope data we just stuffed into there.

Translating this to your specific case is left as an exercise. ;)
