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 the head instead.
Cheers,
Seona.
