The offening '</div>' is clearly within a text which may never be interpreted as code by the validator. On the other side even when interpreted it should be accepted as correct since the code within the full text is obvious valid standard compliant and not even especially complicated. So the validator should either stop interpreting texts as code or should be able to handle Javascript correctly as any decent browser can do these days. > problem is one thing and creating side issues around poor code is > onother. > Sorry if I get upset, my code is not poor, elso show me first how to do it better. > Otto; all browsers try to make allowances ... I quiet well know that. Yet if you still think my code needs these allowances I have to assume you have no idea about real world programming. Besides this single problem my code is valid throughout the full web site and this problem isn't because my code is wrong! O. Wyss
