Hi guys,

I recently came across an issue that im sure some of you know about have dealt with and now consider a very easy thing to sort out,

basically im wishing to keep every website i do w3 compliant something i think is critically important as a designer, before now I hadnt included used any javascript, on my first go at using it, i tried to check my web site was still w3 compliant, irritatingly it wasnt, am i doing something basic wrong.

is there an issue with keeping javascript as w3 compliant, or is it just not possible ?

many thanks

One other thing that's caught me several times is capitalization: If you're using an HTML document, then it doesn't matter, but in an XHTML document, you have to make sure that all of your JavaScript is in lower-case (even though JavaScript is usually mixed-case), otherwise it won't validate (as valid XHTML is all lower-case).

You're getting the errors because your <script> block should be placed within your <head> element, but it is not.
