I am using strict HTML:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
in my website. validator.w3c.o rg gives me lots of errors within my javascript code, such as:
'<B>a</B>...Line 24, Column 40: end tag for element "B" which is not open'

The validator does not recognize the start tag <B>, just the end tag </B>....
