There seems to be recently introduced bug in the validator. There's a similar report on a problem with onclick attribute. It seems that the validator reports any return statement inside an event attribute as an error. Yet another example is that the following document is reported to be in error: <!doctype html> <title></title> <p onmouseover="return true">foo</p> Beware that for HTML5 documents, the validator is really an ad hoc checker (linter) that is supposed to check the document against some HTML5 draft. This is rather different from an SGML or XML markup validator. Given the experimental nature of this feature and the status of HTML5 as a moving target, strange bugs are not a big surprise. -- Yucca, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
