Erik,
You where right! My code was validated inserting spaces between the
">" and "&" characters.
My doubt is know why the validators odnt understand those characters
togheter. I will try to find some documentation and DOM specifies to
discover why that happpens.
BTW, Erik, you advice was very usefull. Thanks a lot.

Hi Erik,
Which is about what I was suspecting--its one
thing
to give the user agent an entity when what you want
is a text rendering of a character and quite another
to use an entity where the program must treat it as
part of your coding. BTW, do you see any difference
in this matter between & and &?

I thought that I had successfully used < as a comparison in a
_javascript_ before, but of course, now I can't find where I did that. I
would have thought that & would behave exactly as &,
but thought it might be an interesting avenue to explore...
I tend to have all of my _javascript_ in external files which is the
other way to make sure that this doesn't happen.
A very interesting note, however. I did some testing and found that
while this failed validation:
if(document.getElementById&&screen.width>1000)
this did *not* fail:
if(document.getElementById && screen.width > 1000)
and I tried that code in various documents: HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0 trans,
XHTML 1.0 Strict and XHTML 1.1 Strict... all passed.
It seems that the validator only really complains when & and >
are butted up against other characters that aren't part of character
entities and tags, respectively.
