The only errors I am getting are when it is trying to validate links that are in javascript... why?

Probably because they are raw, exposed tags in the document. Stab in the dark: change the comment mark out to a CDATA section.

You need to replace all "</" (in JavaScript strings) to "<\/".
If you use "HTML validator (tidy)" in FF, you can see what is the problem.

Code: Select all
<script type="text/javascript">//<![CDATA[
//js code goes here
