Hi.
Love the validator. It is a great service and I use
it extensively.
I have however noticed a small but very consistent
problem which may indicate a minor bug in the
validator code.
The following html fragment illustrates the problem.
http://www.ozebiz.com.au/trial/fragment.html
The validator seems to be attempting to validate
SOME of the contents of the script and is reporting
an error ...
Error at line 22:
document.write("\" border=0 alt=\"Site Meter\"></a>");
end tag for element "A" which is not open
Please do not hesitate to correct me if I have gotten
this wrong, but I would have thought that the validator
should basically ignore everything between the
<script type="..."> and the </script>.
I can work around the problem by splitting the
document.write("..."); into two parts with the "</" in
the first part and the "a> in the second. But it IS
a nuisance to have to do this just to get a page to
validate correctly.
Cheers,
Alan Schneider
