The validator will not report any errors for JavaScript written 
correctly according to the rules of HTML (or XHTML depending on the 
Doctype). I’m not aware of any knows bugs there (and its a bit of HTML 
that hasn’t changed for a long time so I’d be surprised if any 
cropped up). The fault is most likely with your code and not the 
validator.

Of course, you didn’t provide a test case, so …
