i have tryed to validate this code ( at validator.w3.org) many times and everytime i get this error. can anybody tell me what i have to change to get it to work? 1. Error Line 80 column 14: document type does not allow element "SPAN" here; missing one of "P", "H1", "H2", "H3", "H4", "H5", "H6", "PRE", "DIV", "ADDRESS" start-tag. <span id="txt"> </span> The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which you've placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are both allowed there and can contain the element mentioned. This might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that you've forgotten to close a previous element. One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") inside an inline element (such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>"). <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <title> bunn </title> </head> <body onload="startTime()"> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- // Get today's current date. var now = new Date(); // Array list of days. var days = new Array('Søndag','Mandag','Tirsdag','Onsdag','Torsdag','Fredag','Lørdag'); // Array list of months. var months = new Array('Januar','Februar','Mars','April','Mai','Juni','Juli','August','September','Oktober','November','Desember'); // Calculate the number of the current day in the week. var date = ((now.getDate()<10) ?
