You haven't provided a code sample, or stated which markup language you are trying to validate against, so I will GUESS that you are wrapping your JavaScript is SGML comment markers (which is really rather pointless these days, and positively harmful if you are using XHTML). "--" indicates the end of a comment so you would have: <!-- some javascript inside a comment currentSlide-- some javascript outside a comment but inside the SGML command thingy[1] -- The rest of the doucment inside a comment [1] Yes, what I know of this level of SGML/XML is sketchy at best... but that doesn't matter for me becuase I don't use things which could get caught up in it - external CSS and JS all the way for me! -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk
