Inline javascript "<" being rendered as a character entity "<"

Hi All,

I have a small javascript function that ideally I'd like to include
inline in my page:

<script type="text/javascript">
<![CDATA[
function check(element) {
	
	...snip...

	for (var i; i < nodes.length; i++) {
		
	}
	
	etc...
}
]]>
</script>


Now the "less than" is being rendered as an xml character entity - which
obviously breaks the javascript.

I understood from various discussions that enclosing the function in a
CDATA block would mean it's rendered as character data - or have I
misunderstood?

This is in a component, the top of my .tml has:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<div id="configure" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:t="http://tapestry.apache.org/schema/tapestry_5_1_0.xsd">

Any help much appreciated!

Thanks Richard.

To answer my own question, this appears to work:

<script type="text/javascript">
// <!--\n
...snip...

</script>
