We have a need to embed the following type of data in the data table, <script>alert('this is a test')</script>. However, when this is done, the </script> conflicts with the <script></script> tags for
the data table and the data grid gets malformed. Here is what the data table data looks like before it is handed off for rendering. YUI3 data table was not able to render the below. Does anyone have
suggestions for solving this without having to remove the internal <script></script> tags?

<script type="text/javascript">

data = [
......
There are two possible scenarios for sending input to a web application that is vulnerable to cross-site scripting: A. The parameter value sent to the CGI script is returned in the response page,
embedded in the: Cross Site scripting issue client instance.......... <script>alert('this is a test')</script>" ,"FindingType": "Security Assessment" ,"ReportID": "" ,"status": "Unlinked" ,"Severity":
"Undefined" ,"RiskLevel": "Low" ,"FindingClass": "Other" ,"IpAddress": "" ,"ServiceName": "" ,"checkid": "5" }];

</script>

Thanks.
