Web Page Validation

[bluesky74656]

I've again been tasked with creating a new website for this festival I run. I've managed to create something that's pretty neat, but it doesn't quite validate. The errors are difficult to solve.

Firstly, I'm using javascript to dynamically change some text. The W3C validator is reading the text within the strings I'm building (which aren't yet complete) and returning errors. Is there any way to tell the validator to ignore those?

Secondly, I need to embed some little flash picture-changer applet. The embed tag is throwing up a ton of errors. Is there any way to avoid those?

Finally, I've built some CSS drop down menus, but the validator doesn't like the placement of my ul tags. Can anyone offer suggestions?

The page in question is currently at http://thebigbluesky.us/theFEST/index.htm.

Thanks for your help.

Well, I fixed the javascript by moving it to an external file, and I fixed the dropdowns (had an element I didn't need).

I found good instructions for converting YouTube embed tags to object tags, but this thingy isn't from YouTube, so I'm going to have to get a bit more inventive. The good news is that everything except that one embed and a legacy form I haven't had a chance to rewrite yet validate html 4.01 strict.

The page is now live at http://www.thefest.us/

Seems to validate okay now.
