Issue #1:

Right now I am using a simple ColdFusion tag to generate the following code on 
a web page in an attempt to hide it from spammers:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
        document.write("<a href='mailto:";);
        document.write("Email.Handle");
        document.write("\100");
        document.write("thedomain.com");
        document.write("'>");

        document.write("My Name");                                      

        document.write("</a>");
</script>
The problem is the HTML Validator croaks when it sees the following line:
        document.write("'>");

And informs me:
Line 720, column 18: document type does not allow element "a" here

document.write("'>");



I then noticed issue #2:

Above the mention that my code is not standards compliant, I found this mention:

Character Encoding mismatch!
The character encoding specified in the HTTP header (utf-8) is different from 
the value in the <meta> element (iso-8859-1). I will use the value from the 
HTTP header (utf-8) for this validation.

So I guess the two alerts above must be related? I cannot figure out where the 
validator is picking out the utf-8 from. 

The page I am referring to is:
http://www.northwestcollege.edu/Intl/


Would welcome suggestions on how I can get this page to validate...
