What type of script is this?

I am trying to get my site validated from xhtml.

But one error remains,it asks me to enter the type of this script.
here is the code:-

"<script>var first_channel=" . $ch_row[ch_id] . ";</script>"

Code (markup):

when i try it with "javascript",the whole site stops functioning.

Also,my site opens as a blank page for 3-4sec on IE,no problems on firefox though.

Is it possible that this error is causing the problem?

my site is:- http://desitvlive.co.tv/


Please suggest some solution.

Thanks.

 

<script type="text/javascript">

 

Seems like code of php but < script> is added on both sides.

 

He is not asking for that - you need to define a type="" to pass XHTML validation.
