You have <!-- ... -- ... -->; this is not allowed in XHTML. Also note that putting script content in comments is a bad idea, since, well, the browser won't execute the script as it is commented out. Please see e.g. http://esw.w3.org/topic/ValidationProblems for an elaborate description about the magical <script> element in HTML. In XHTML, there is no magic involved. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
