Sample code is attached for your testing. The problem which the validator spotted is a common issue with creating valid markup when using javascript in a certain way, especially with document.write(). The error message given by the validator points to the following FAQ: http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/problems.html which itself mentions the HTML specification: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/appendix/notes.html#h-B.3.2.1 > I think the validator should skip JavaScript code completely, > unless it has a built-in JavaScript interpretor. This is not for us to decide, the validator is merely following the specifications, here. Regards, -- olivier
