W3 validation errors

**marciano** · 11-18-2010 08:34 AM

Hello,

I have a page (XHTML 1.0 transitional) that is working fine but generates some validation errors and warnings I don't find how to solve. They are JS related.
This is a warning. The error will be posted into another thread
Line 35, Column 14: character "&" is the first character of a delimiter but occurred as data
if (anchor && anchor=='#presup'){ ....

HTML Code:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
var anchor=self.document.location.hash; 
if (anchor && anchor=='#presup'){ 
	  window.onload=function() {
		  fireOnclick('comp'); // pass the ID
	  }
  }					 
</script>

How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance

I have a page (XHTML 1.0 transitional) that is working fine but generates a validation error don't find how to solve.
This is located at <HEAD> section

HTML Code:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> 
var bocet = '<? include('bocet_data.php'); ?>';		 
</script>

This var contains one line html script that is displayed within a pop-up created using overlib package. It starts '<p><strong>ESTE DOCUMENTO ES UN ACUE...'.
In the <BODY> section there is a link:

HTML Code:

<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return overlib(bocet, WIDTH, 600, ...(supressed extra settings);" >BOCETOS</a>

W3 validator displays
var bocet = '<p><strong>ESTE DOCUMENTO ES UN ACUERDO LEGAL ENTRE USTED (&ldquo…

The element named above was found in a context where it is not allowed. This could mean that you have incorrectly nested elements -- such as a "style" element in the "body" section instead of inside "head" -- or two elements that overlap (which is not allowed).

One common cause for this error is the use of XHTML syntax in HTML documents. Due to HTML's rules of implicitly closed elements, this error can create cascading effects. For instance, using XHTML's "self-closing" tags for "meta" and "link" in the "head" section of a HTML document may cause the parser to infer the end of the "head" section and the beginning of the "body" section (where "link" and "meta" are not allowed; hence the reported error).
I need a help on how to validate it.
thank you
