Hey guys, I’m new to Javascript and I have a few simple problems that I can’t figure out. The problems require me to copy from the textbook and run it through the validator on w3, then correct the errors. However, I keep getting problems that I have no idea how to solve. I look through the chapter in my book, but I can’t come up with anything. For the first problem, I’m getting error messages like:
Error Line 20, Column 20: document type does not allow element “ul” here
document.write(“<ul>”);
(the > is underlined and in red, as well as the ” in another message)
Line 21, Column 38: character data is not allowed here
document.write(“<li>Eat less fat</li>”)
(the last ” is underlined and red)
I know these are probably very simple problems for you guys, but I’m stuck and have no idea on how to correct them. Any help is appreciated.
