Hello,

New to the forums, been browsing for a while and learn't a vast amount already. I have 2 errors that i am trying to validate and i just can't seem to get my head around them and solve them!

Errors:

Line 357, Column 159: document type does not allow element "img" here

Line 358, Column 156: document type does not allow element "img" here

Code from line 349:



<script type="text/javascript">

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery('#featured ul').jcarousel({
wrap: 'both',
animation: 1000,
visible: 1,
scroll: 1,
auto: 5,
buttonNextHTML: '<img class="button-right" src="http://www.example.com/skin/frontend/default/magesupport/images/btn_rght_arrow.gif" alt="Right Arrow" />',
buttonPrevHTML: '<img class="button-left" src="http://www.example.com/skin/frontend/default/magesupport/images/btn_lft_arrow.gif" alt="Left Arrow" />'
});
});

</script>

Any help would be greatly appreciated, many thanks for your time.

this is presumably in the html <head>, where an image element would not be allowed.

however as this is part of a javascript, then i assume the validator you are using is not working properly as it thinks there is an image element in the head.

... i assume the javascript is working as expected on the page?

Not familiar with the jquery itself, but

- either comment the script itself out (old style)

- Or better yet: use htmlentities < and > instead of < and > in the strings in your script.

Heard my name mentioned... ;)
Yeah, I was just about to chime in and say that this is easily solved by moving the script to an external file. Better for caching, better for separation of content/behavior, and better for validation purposes.
