Does the DTD you selected include it? The validator only checks against
the rules you tell it to check against; if an attribute is not
recognized then the problem is with the choice of attribute or the DTD
(usually the attribute), not the validator.
Looking at the Applet Compatibility Guide
<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/deployment/applet-
compatibility/applet-compatibility.html>, it appears that the MAYSCRIPT
attribute is a non-standard Sun/Netscape extension that is only needed
for out of date versions of the Sun Java Plug-in and even more out of
date versions of Netscape Navigator/Communicator.
There is no mention of MAYSCRIPT in the HTML 4.01 specification:
