-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello everyone. Is it just me, or doed the Validator (validator.w3.org) seem to try to validate JavaScript despite the JavaScript being within HTML comments? Ie, with: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript"> <!-- document.write("<P>" + desc + "</P>") // --> </SCRIPT> The validator highlights the closing tag and says: "end tag for element "P" which is not open " This is obviously not the case - the P element is opened and closed immediately in the write method. Regardless, I don't want HTML validation on JavaScript! Surely getting the validator to ignore everything up to the closing comment delimeter would be correct. Could you please reply to me directly as I am off-list.
