Having looked at the example, I'm not sure what the problem is. I go to
the URL that you gave above, type in "rss baseball", hit enter, and I
get another screen that looks basically the same but with this added:
Human: rss baseball
botCAD: baseball.

On that page, it looks like the very top of the <script> block (var name
= " baseball";) was generated by a server-side process based on my
input. If the server-side process isn't writing the correct value into
that variable, then this isn't a Javascript problem and it isn't an HTML
problem, it is a problem with your server side code. Make sense?
