The W3C's.
What happens is that I'm concatenating strings (content += ...) and
it's complaining about closing tags that aren't open (the are opened on
another line). I didn't expect that, I validated it because of the
problem in the next thread and I was surprised to see all that. I've
never used CDATA so I though it was time to learn. I was wrong!
I think I'll just take cwdjrxyz'z advice and ignore them for now. It
will of course wind up in an external file when I get done with writing it.
Thanks,
Jeff
