"Simple" validation error

[harbingerOTV]

okay this is dumb and please don't ask why I'm using document.write ;)

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write('<a href="#x" class="backtotop">Top of Page</a>');
</script>

I'm using that on a site but of course the validator says this:


line 194 column 60 - Warning: '<' + '/' + letter not allowed here


If I remove the "/" and use "/" it prints out "</a>" at the end of the link although the script still functions correctly.

Besides not using document.write, how do I go about remedying this situation?

I'm working on a way to use jQuery to make adjustments but in the meantime...

You could use CDATA comments which I think might be a better solution.

Or you could try escaping that character.
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write('<a href="#x" class="backtotop">Top of Page<\/a>');
</script>

"escaping", of course! Told you it was simple I just couldn't, or rather didn't want to think that easy. gracias.
