Yes, you need to remove the nesting of a <pre> element inside a <p>
element, in
 <p><pre id="da-json"></pre></p>

The <pre> element is a block element and not allowed inside a <p> element,
which may contain text and text-level markup only.

The simplest fix is to remove the tags <p> and </p>. This may affect the
rendering, since now there is an empty <p> element (implicitly closed by
the <pre> tag) before the <pre> element, and this may cause some vertical
spacing in some browsers. Use CSS margin properties to set the desired
spacing.
