Rails - Jun 2006 - Escape sequences in html_options?

I hate asking questions like this, but I swear I''ve been looking for
the
answer for the better part of the morning.

I want to execute some javascript onChange for a select box, so I have:

:onchange=>"for (var x=1; x <= this.options.length; x++) {....}"

The problem is that the <= is being translated into &lt;= and I
don''t
want
that :-/.  Nothing I''ve tried (various combinations of single/double 
quotes,
CGI::escape / unescape, etc..) seems to fix it.  What I''m trying to 
figure out is when exactly my < character is being translated, and 
therefore what options I have for preventing that.  I even tried putting 
the whole thing in a CDATA section but that didnt seem to fly, either.
