I've got this code inside one of my templates:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
	function entercustomernumber(countnumber) {
		alert("The function ran");
	}
</script>

For some reason, when I look at the source code for the page, this is what is there:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
	function entercustomernumber(countnumber)</script>

Any idea why it is leaving out the { and } and everything in between?

The brackets {} are being interpreted as smarty tags - it is looking for smarty variables/code inside them.

You can maybe solve the problem by putting the function in separate .js file or adding it to the existing XCART js file? Maybe something like:
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="my_scripts.js"></script>

then adding your functions to my_scripts.js

Surround your JS with {literal} tags:

{literal}
Javascript here
{/literal}

That keeps Smarty from reading it as Smarty
