Is it possible that you're using XSLT to create HTML-as-text but using
the HTML output method rather than either creating HTML-as-HTML
directly or using the text output method? If you were creating HTML as
HTML directly or using the text output method then you wouldn't have
to replace less-than sign entity references (<) with less-than
signs. So perhaps rather than tackling the JavaScript problem we could
have a look at the XSLT that you're using and see if we can address
the problem there?
Cheers,
Jeni
