I have the folowing html. It passes the w3 validator, but my javascript alert does not work. Can anyone see any problems or have any suggestions on how to get it to work?

EDIT – To all below, I do have javascript turned on, I am using debian with firefox, noScript is disabled, but the alert does not appear, even if I move it to the body.

    First, take out the trade mark. That extended characters is probably killing the closing </title> tag. I”m pretty sure that’s your issue.

    Failing that, remove every element above the <script> tag and see if it executes. If it does, restore each element one-by-one. Something above the script tag is preventing it from being parsed.
