At a guess, I'd say that the problem is caused by having your javascript in the head of your document, which makes the validator try to parse it (and so find li's in the head, where no li's should be). Simplest solution would be to move your javascript into an external file and just link it into

Well yes, you could mark it up as XML behind the scenes, but you shouldn't be sending XML to the browser. They might or might not be able to cope with it, but you'd be breaking validation (unless you used XHTML sent as actual XML and start namespacing things). In simple terms, I'd mark up
