The webpage does not validate, however the errors are nowhere near the
extra tags in the javascirpt being inserted at the head tag, i.e.
there is an unordered list somewhere in the html that is closed twice
and an incorrect checkbox attribute. The page validates in tidy, with
warnings only. There is this CDATA block around all the javascript
functions, in a comment:
//<![CDATA[
//]]>
It seems to me that the parser is seeing the '</head>' tag in the
javascrpt variable and putting in the end script tag and body tags
