[RESOLVED] Validation error - unterminated string literal

This line of code is returning a W3C validation error:

<a href="http://www.jwgmg.com/cf1/contactform.php" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"
		onclick="window.open('http://www.jwgmg.com/cf1/contactform.php','Table','width=500,height=600,scrollbars=yes,
		resizable=yes'); return false;">Contact Us</a></p>

The error returned is:

Bad value window.open('http://www.jwgmg.com/lib/terms.html','Table','width=500,height=600,scrollbars=yes,↩ resizable=yes'); for attribute onclick on element a: unterminated string literal

What's the solution? The page that code is on loads and works as intended. Is this one of those validation quirks you just have to ignore?

it's just the line break, as far as I can see - all you need to do is close up the space between yes, and resizable:

<a href="http://www.jwgmg.com/cf1/contactform.php" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" onclick="window.open('http://www.jwgmg.com/cf1/contactform.php','Table','width=500,height=600,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes'); return false;">Contact Us</a>

Thanks xelawho. Couldn't see the forest for the trees. No more validation error.
