Javascripting frames in XHTML

[phpwhiz]

I'm in the process of converting an old site with frames to XHTML. I can easily get it to verify on the w3c validator.

However, in the converted version I also need to output one of the frame definitions with a JavaScript. When I do this it won't validate any more. Is there a way around this?

Unfortunately it is not an option at the moment to remove the frames.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, phpwhiz!

Are you using the correct XHTML DTD? Have you got your CDATA wrapper in?

<script>
<![cdata[
... script contents ...
]]>
</script>

Yes, I'm using the framset DTD and have the CDATA wrappers.

The problem seems to be that the script tag is not allowed in the frameset context.

I also tried to output the complete frameset definition in my javascript, and not just the single frame definition I need to control, but that didn't work either.
