Is it all working except that InfernoShoutbox.userframe doesn't show the right value, or does it not work at all because the "var RULES = " line isn't valid js?

Forgive me, I might've been unclear, haha

Basically, here's what I've got (my whole .js code):
http://paste2.org/p/2073301#line-549
As you can see, I'm already modifying the variable RULES on line 549 to change all \n tags to be <br />.

Now, the RULES var is called from an option in a setting on my Forum. In this setting, as you can probably guess, you can input a description of your rules that will display.

I have the following defined in a template:

var RULES = "$vboptions[ishout_rules]";

Before I go on, someone on another forum told me:

A JavaScript error is probably occurring. Based on the limited information that I have, I would guess that this is due to the way you're loading the rules value into JavaScript. You probably have a variable definition that looks like:

var RULES = 'a
b';

...leading me to understand that I'm bringing in invalid js.

So, the contents of the ishout_rules option that are like:

...would in fact not be valid js and cause an error.


So, if I were to design a Plugin, what hook location should I use and what should it contain? Also, how would I get a custom variable to be accessible by a template?
Or, is there a way to fix the js error?
