Page Validation

The way that Milonic uses:

<script language=JavaScript>
if(ns4)_d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=mmenuns4.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
else _d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=mmenudom.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
</script>

keeps pages from validating as XHTML 1.0 Transitional. I've run my pages through http://validator.w3.org/ and the errors I get are:

document type does not allow element "script" here
...itedesign/common/scripts/mmenuns4.js'><\/script>");

and,

character "<" is the first character of a delimiter but occurred as data
...tedesign/common/scripts/mmenuns4.js'><\/script>");

Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks

Yes, there's something about cdata being used. I have no idea what that is but I've read a few places on the forum where it had to be used to hide the script for whatever reason. Find Maz's name in a forum post then click her www button and check her website. Look at the source, you'll see how she uses it.

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
if(ns4)_d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=mmenuns4.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
else _d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=mmenudom.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
-->
</script>

Just add the 'comment' tags.
My site is XHTML 1.1 strict validated with this code.

Ow and remove <script language=JavaScript> and change it to <script type="text/javascript">. Don't forget to add the quotes for every value in XHTML.

Hi,

You need CDATA tags, I added an example in the beginners section of the forum for getting started.

I did a search for xhtml validation and found this thread. Looks interesting...so it only has to be placed around the javascript statemnt that refers to NN4?
BTW -what is CDATA?

Hi all,

It would require the code to look as follows:



Let me know if it passes Validation.

Actually the calls were changed a long time ago (it's in the download file!)...
