Javascript Multiline unexpected identifier

I am getting an error on the first time telling me it has an unexpected identifier. I am unsure what is causing it, I am making a big string of code so users can copy and paste it to use on webpages.

var generatedCode = " \
init(); \
<script> \
function init()  \
{ \
  disableDraggingFor(document.getElementById('bitcoin')); \
  disableDraggingFor(document.getElementById('litecoin')); \
  disableDraggingFor(document.getElementById('peercoin')); \
  disableDraggingFor(document.getElementById('namecoin')); \
} \
";

Heres what it looks like: http://pbrd.co/1jawPVZ

var generatedCode = "\
\<script\> \
function init()  \
{ \
  disableDraggingFor(document.getElementById('bitcoin'));\
  disableDraggingFor(document.getElementById('litecoin'));\
  disableDraggingFor(document.getElementById('peercoin'));\
  disableDraggingFor(document.getElementById('namecoin'));\
} \
init(); \
\<\/script\> \
";

Just missing a few escapes on the brackets. Also errors within the returned string. This will work for you though.

generatedCode value:

<script> function init()  {   disableDraggingFor(document.getElementById('bitcoin'));  disableDraggingFor(document.getElementById('litecoin'));  disableDraggingFor(document.getElementById('peercoin'));  disableDraggingFor(document.getElementById('namecoin'));} init(); </script>

Your screen shows what your are using single quotes only. For generatedCode use " and for document.getElementById calling use '. Or for generatedCode use ' and for document.getElementById calling use ". For more info read this snippet.

Also you need close <script> tag and call init in script tag:

var generatedCode = " \
<script> \
function init()  \
{ \
  disableDraggingFor(document.getElementById('bitcoin')); \
  disableDraggingFor(document.getElementById('litecoin')); \
  disableDraggingFor(document.getElementById('peercoin')); \
  disableDraggingFor(document.getElementById('namecoin')); \
} \
init(); \
</script>";

OR

remove script tag from your code if you call it in eval for example (but better do not use eval):

var generatedCode = " \
    function init()  \
    { \
      disableDraggingFor(document.getElementById('bitcoin')); \
      disableDraggingFor(document.getElementById('litecoin')); \
      disableDraggingFor(document.getElementById('peercoin')); \
      disableDraggingFor(document.getElementById('namecoin')); \
    } \
    init();"

You are calling init() function outside your <script> tags, try placing it between <script> and function init()
