    Can you help me with this Validator error, please. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to replace with what.
    Thanks


    
 Line 120, Column 21: character "<" is the first character of a delimiter but occurred as data 
			for (var i =0; i < cb.elements.length; i++)✉ 
This message may appear in several cases: 

•You tried to include the "<" character in your page: you should escape it as "&lt;"
•You used an unescaped ampersand "&": this may be valid in some contexts, but it is recommended to use "&amp;", which is always safe.
•Another possibility is that you forgot to close quotes in a previous tag.

    It's javascript so I think you're missing a <script> tag

    Copy paste code into any editor which highlight syntax. You will see all tags you typed wrong.

    If you could post the page, it would be more helpful. I also agree that it looks like you didn't close a <script> tag properly... but that is only a guess. Did you solve the problem yet?

    Tic tac toe...
    You are using XHTML and haven't wrapped the script content with CDATA, e.g:
    <script type="text/javascript">//[COLOR="red"]<![CDATA[[/COLOR]
...
[COLOR="red"]//]]>[/COLOR]</script>

    That's true in some cases, but the W3C Validator will skip Javascript without CDATA. It just has to be inside script tags.
