move js out of module file

the javascript is being printed out instead of executed. any reason why it would be doing this? I click add new task and I get this:

TodoList.add_incomplete_list();
$('.todolist.incomplete').append('<li class="task" id="task-2"><input type="checkbox" name="task-2" />new task title</li>');
$('#task-2').each(TodoList.add_nub).each(TodoList.bind_task).Highlight(1000, '#ff0');
$('.todolist.incomplete').SortableAddItem($('#task-2').get(0));
