    <span class="buttonAction"><a href="checkout_shipping.php?info=document.writeln(document.location);">
     <img src="images/checkout.png" width="93">
     </a></script>

You can't put html in a javascript tag. If you want to print the link you can do it like this:

<script language="javascript">
    document.write('<span class="buttonAction"><a href="checkout_shipping.php?info='+encodeURIComponent(document.location)+'"><img src="images/checkout.png" width="93" alt=""/></a><span>');
</script>

You cannot put html in a script tag. Some pointers: Put the html above the script, give the a tag an id and use javascript to set the href attribute from the script part.

<span class="buttonAction">
  <a id="thelink" href="">
    <img src="images/checkout.png" width="93">
  </a>
</span>
<script language="javascript">
// insert javascript code to set the href attribute here (read a javascript tutorial)
</script>

see: http://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp, http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_doc_getelementbyid.asp

(this solution is the closest to your original code, later you might prefer to move your javascript elsewhere and/or start using javascript framework)
