"Error parsing XML: not well-formed" for javascript

Question

I am getting an "Error parsing XML: not well-formed" message with the following line in javascript:

for (var i=1; i<=totalImgs; i++)

Removing the < character from this line clears up the parsing error, but then the javascript doesn't work. Are there any solutions to this?

Here are three possible solutions:

Move the script into a separate .js file so that the XML parser won't see it.
Surround the script contents with <![CDATA[ ]]> (See this question for further details).
Use an XML character entity reference (i.e. <) instead of a literal <
