Now what? I have extensive javascript in my header. I have mutiple single quotes and pipes in the javascript and I get herrendous errors every time I try to run the script.

I am trying to pring it to the document using print qq| javascript here |; and it's killing me.

Anyone have any ideas?

Try this:
close the last print statement with |;
Start a new statement for your Java with

print qq~
<Script language="Javascript">
<your script>
</script>
#close the print statement
~;

good luck
