For that specific script you need to delete the DOCTYPE tag and escape each single ' with a \  .. or saving that script as a .js file and calling it.

I'm looking to do the same thing and it seems as if this thread was left at least partially unresolved. Where would I need to add that code? Also is there anything I need to remove or change? Thanks in advance-
