embedding javascript inside javascript

Hi.
I have a javascript function that uses text with for instance another
javascript function in it.
so what i have in short is something like this:
<?
$text='Lot of text here....<javascript type="text/javascript"
language="javascript">alert('bla');</script>... and here';
?>
<javascript type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
alert('<?=$text?>');
</script>

So this breaks.
escape() won't work.
Is there some sort of CDATA tag i can use for this?

Thanx for any advice

Hi Henry,

Untested...

<?php
$text='Lot of text here....<javascript type="text/javascript"
language="javascript">alert(\'bla\');</script>... and here';
?>

<javascript type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
alert('<?php echo urlencode($text);?>');
</script>

Fingers crossed

Andy
