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.

Is there something I can do to make it wrap the javascript or fix the errors?

Hi,

I have the same problem. The solution you gave does fix the W3C validation issue, but it seems to stop the drop-down menus from working.

Any ideas?
