A quick look at the HTML 4.01 Transitional DTD reveals that NOSCRIPT is a "block-like element" [1], and is not allowed in HEAD [2]. Thus, not a validator bug IMO. It seems that you could use the NOSCRIPT element in the BODY, but it also seems that META is allowed in HEAD only :( [1] <URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/sgml/loosedtd.html#block> [2] <URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/sgml/loosedtd.html#head.content> -- Ville Skyttä ville.skytta@iki.fi
