Javascript for loop

Hello, I recently ended up as a Cascade admin for my college and I'm relatively lost. I'm trying to get a javascript for loop working on a page, but it's rendering my less than character as < :

for (i = 0; i < data.response.award.length; i++)

I know that cascade tends to javascript in //<![CDATA[, which I believe tells the system to not escape characters? I'm typing this into my WYSIWYG (I'm assuming it's TinyMCE?) through the HTML button:

<script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
function processJson(data) {
    text = ""
    for (i = 0; i < data.response.award.length; i++) {
//do some sutff
    }
    $('$x').html(text)
//alert(data.response.award[0].agency);
}
// ]]></script>

Any suggestions?

   Threw the js in a separate file and called it from page. Working now.

   Hi,

   Another way to accomplish this would be to use a #protect code section to ensure Cascade does not attempt to clean up invalid XML. For example:

   <script type="text/javascript"><![CDATA[#protect
   function processJson(data) { 
       text = "" 
       for (i = 0; i < data.response.award.length; i++) { 
   //do some sutff 
       } 
       $('$x').html(text) 
   //alert(data.response.award[0].agency); 
   } 
   #protect]]></script>
   

   Please let me know if you have any questions.

   Thanks!
