Re: Needing some help here ;)

Umm... no.

When the JavaScript is sent to the browser, it will have nested double
quotes which won't work.

Try it for yourself:

document.write("Good Morning, <cpanel print="DOMAIN">");

The above will throw a JavaScript error.

But change it to this:

document.write("Good Morning, <cpanel print=\"DOMAIN\">");

And no error will occur.
