...gives this message in the W3C validator
"Error Line 9 column 59: end tag for element "FONT" which is not open.
The Validator found an end tag for the above element, but that element is not currently open.

<script>
</font>

The fix is to propery escape the "/" like this:
document.write('<font color="red"> this is red text<\/font>')
Learning is a never ending process.
