I am trying to run my page with the Validator code but on loading it
in IE6 I get the "Expected ;" error followed by "Object doesn't
support this property or method" errors. It has absolutely no problems
in Firefox3. Strangely enough when I comment out the <META http-
equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> line the
"Expected ;" error disappears although the validation still does not
work. Here's my page:
