I understand what you are saying to a degree. But what YOU don't understand is that by validating a page, you are more ensured that your page will work for everyone. So it is an easy fix, but it has nothing to do with embedding Google calendar or other scripts. It is just a link. Whereas embedding means actually having the calendar visible in the page. A COMPLETELY different story. If you don't validate then you cannot know any mistakes that may make users frustrated and/or leave the site. Also, others, such as those who are using the site through a screen reader may not be able to. That is the first thing any halfway decent coder/designer/developer knows. And I am not implying that you are no good, but you really need to rethink about validation. As far as writing another IE script, is it that hard for you to do? To help users that may view your site, view it trouble free?
