Question

I have some javascript to set makers for google maps. Inside the markers I have links <a>link</a> to display on the map.

Howver the W3C valdiator complains about the > at the end of the opening <a>. I have tried replacing it with > but it complained about the &.

Is there a way around this?

Thanks

Seems like you’re using XHTML. Wrap your code in a commented out CDATA:

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[

// Now I won't complain :)
var x = '<7>%></a>#$#><>><&&>';

//]]>
</script>
