Sorry, that wasn't a very good guess based on the small sample you posted.
My new guess is that you have

<SCRIPT type=text/javascript
src="http://w3.jp.ibm.com/apto/vitality/common.js"></SCRIPT>

in which case you need to quote the TYPE attribute value.

But again it'd be easier to guess with the URL.
