Re: Error in validator

| <em>Does your mother know that you have visited this page 3 times?</em>

This is explained in the HTML 4.0 spec. </ in SGML denotes the end
of a CDATA element (script and style) and hence is not allowed
within the contents of a script element.
You have to escape you </ to doc.write('<\/EM');
