Recently came across an issue with a script tag that it seems like the
validator should have caught.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

<title>Title</title>

 

Wrong: <script type="text/javascript" src="script.js
<https://cibng.ibanking-services.com/cib/CEBMainServlet/SplashPageScript
?FIORG=592&amp;FIFID=091901215> "/>

Right: <script type="text/javascript" src="script.js
<https://cibng.ibanking-services.com/cib/CEBMainServlet/SplashPageScript
?FIORG=592&amp;FIFID=091901215> "></script>

 

This may be valid XHTML but caused pages to not display at all in
Firefox and IE and everything on the page validated. Perhaps if the
XHTML is actually valid, a warning could be displayed?
