Only if the document is an XHTML document. If you take the script code 
that was posted, wrap it inside a <script> element and put that inside a 
minimal HTML 4.01 document, then you’ll get the error message described 
in the original posting. And this can be fixed the way I described.

> msanderz, I think your issue is that you use XHTML but serve it as text/html.

I don’t see any reason to think that XHTML is involved in any way. Just 
the opposite: as the error message described is what you get with HTML 
4.01, then msanderz is most probably using HTML 4.01. (The Internet 
media type is not relevant here. If you wrap the code inside an XHTML 
1.0 document, you get the “end tag for element "P" which is not open”, 
whether you serve it as text/html or as some XML media type.)

That’s one option of course, though slightly inefficient if you have 
just a small piece of code.
