I have the same issue as here:

[Script tag in JavaScript string](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1659749/script-tag-in-javascript-string)

However I can not resolve the issue with the proposed solutions. I'm using datatables plugin for jquery. I tried different solutions from above thread but none work. I get a "$ is not defined" error.If I set var html to like "test" it works fine.
The script in the String inserts a ActiveX control (IE) or plugin (FF) and displays data from database.
In below code the var html somehow breaks the script:

```
function( nRow, aData, iDisplayIndex, iDisplayIndexFull ) {         
    var dataURL = "'data:chemical/smiles," + aData[0] + "'";
    var html = '<script type="text/javascript">'
        + 'cd_insertObject("chemical/x-daylight-smiles", 182, 172,'
        + '"CDCtrl' + iDisplayIndexFull + '","","True","False","True",'
        + 'dataurl='+ dataURL + ');</scr' + 'ipt>'; 

    $('td:eq(0)', nRow).html(html); // here $ causes an error       
    return nRow;
}

```

Note that I also tried to escape all < and > also in the opening script tag. Same issue.
Any ideas how to solve?

EDIT:

Found solution but can't answer my own question so here it is:

jQuerys .html() function strips away script tags. I found that in the comments the documentation for .html().

Another issue is that the 3rd party function cd\_insertObject uses document.write().

My solution was to copy+paste cd\_insertObject but instead of using document write i return a string and then i put this string in 

```
$('td:eq(0)', nRow).html(html);

```
