That's not what the validator says. It says "attribute construct
error", not "there is no attribute onclick". The actual error in your
document, is that the two attributes are missing a space between them.
<li class="link"onclick="navClick('/product_wizard/')"><a href="http://
... repeated for all the <li>s.
Just "show source" and you will see.

These other tools have a bug, then. It's common for SGML tools
without a certain command of XML rules to miss this error. The W3C's
markup validator had this bug for a long time, too.
