I believe that there is a bug in the html validator if you have a noscript element in the head element. Consider the html page below, which yields 2 errors when I try and use the w3 validator (http://validator.w3.org/file-upload.html): <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-language" content="en-us"> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <title>Validator Bug</title> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- (something will go in here later...) // --> </script> <noscript> <p>Your browser does not support JavaScript, so this page will NOT work!</p> </noscript> </head> <body></body> </html> If you cut out the noscript element, then it validates perfectly fine. But I believe that it -should- validate, as I took that noscript element directly from the w3 html spec (http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/scripts.html#h-18.3.1)! Please get back to me if you can confirm this bug! (Or let me know that I made a brain dead mistake...)
