Rails - Dec 2005 - redering CDATA wierdness

I am attempting to do the sortable_element tutorial from scriptaculous.
(http://demo.script.aculo.us/ajax/sortable_elements)

Upon viewing the script.aculo.us source, I see this line is generated...

<script
type="text/javascript">Sortable.create(''list'',
{onUpdate:function(){new Ajax.Updater(''list-info'',
''/ajax/order'',
{onComplete:function(request){new
Effect.Highlight(''list'',{});},
parameters:Sortable.serialize(''list''), evalScripts:true, 
asynchronous:true})}})</script>

When I try to do the same thing, Webrick generates the following on my 
local machine...

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
Sortable.create(''list'', {onUpdate:function(){new 
Ajax.Updater(''list-info'',
''/moving_list/order'', {asynchronous:true,
evalScripts:true, onComplete:function(request){new 
Effect.Highlight(''list'',{});}, 
parameters:Sortable.serialize(''list'')})}})
//]]>
</script>

My app is so simple I dont know what I could be doing wrong.  Because 
this line is treated as a comment, my page doesnt work.

Any ideas?

Thanks
paqo

This would be the xhtml way of doing things. Its possible that you''re  
not actually sending an xhtml doctype, which could cause the <style>  
element to interpreted as a comment. Anyway, a url would help.
