Fuji,
It is because it is inline script, which the validator is trying to parse. Change this: <script type=”javascript”> Your script here ... </script> to: <script type=”javascript”> /*<![CDATA[*/ Your script here ... /*]]>*/ </script> (Note the additional two lines wrapping it) More info at: http://javascript.about.com/library/blxhtml.htm Thanks, Tatham Oddie <callto:+61414275989> call:+61414275989, <callto:+61280113982> call:+61280113982, <skype:tathamoddie?call> skype:tathamoddie, <msnim:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> msn:[EMAIL PROTECTED], <http://tatham.oddie.com.au/> tatham.oddie.com.au From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Fuji kusaka Sent: Thursday, 19 June 2008 4:30 PM To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: [WSG] Validation Can someone help me out with this validation?.... this is a javascript for my menu which is inside my html page. Line 154, Column 39: document type does not allow element "li" here. $back = $('<li class="back"><div class="left"></div></li>').appendTo <http://validator.w3.org/feedback.html?uri=;errmsg_id=64#errormsg> ✉ The element named above was found in a context where it is not allowed. This could mean that you have incorrectly nested elements -- such as a "style" element in the "body" section instead of inside "head" -- or two elements that overlap (which is not allowed). One common cause for this error is the use of XHTML syntax in HTML documents. Due to HTML's rules of implicitly closed elements, this error can create cascading effects. For instance, using XHTML's "self-closing" tags for "meta" and "link" in the "head" section of a HTML document may cause the parser to infer the end of the "head" section and the beginning of the "body" section (where "link" and "meta" are not allowed; hence the reported error). -- Fuji kusaka ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
