Answer 1

I would give the SCRIPT tag an ID and replace the script tag itself with the DIV + contents, making it so they only have to include one line of code. Something along the lines of the following:

In your script, you can swap out the SCRIPT tag for your DIV in one fell swoop, like so:

var scriptTag, myDiv;
scriptTag = document.getElementById('my-script');
myDiv = document.createElement('DIV');
myDiv.innerHTML = '
Wow, cool!
';
scriptTag.parentNode.replaceChild(myDiv, scriptTag);
