So we don't know what Doctype you are using, what Content-Type you are
using, or what the rest of the document looks like.

I don't see an ampersand there, which is the usual cause of the error.
Is this the right piece of code?
As an aside...
Using href="javascript:..." is not good practice.
Something along the lines of:
<a href="/Somewhere/Home/14/"
onclick="myNamespace.navigateTo(this.href); return false;"> would be better.
... and attaching the JS event programatically (e.g. jQuery('#myMenu
a').click(function () { myNamespace.navigateTo(this.href); return false;
} ) would be better separation of concerns.
(Please direct follow ups to www-validator and not directly to me, thanks)
