Description Konstantin Tokarev 2010-01-17 12:03:32 UTC
This XHTML page contains some vere errors which are missed by Validator
1) Tags <i> and <u> in <h1> are closed in wrong order
2) <table> isn't closed
3) window.document.writeln() is used (prohibited in XHTML)

> 1) Tags <i> and <u> in <h1> are closed in wrong order
> 2) <table> isn't closed

All these are inside a CDATA section.  The page has "<![CDATA[ ] ] >" which is not a "self closing" one because there is whitespace between ], ], and >.  There is a "<! [ [ ]]>" later which closes it, and the <h1> and <table> etc are between these two.

> 3) window.document.writeln() is used (prohibited in XHTML)

Even though it might not work in XHTML, this is not a validity error.
