<tip author="Ben Dyer" type="XHTML Compliance">
But, if you want to validate your XHTML and still handle the really old
browsers that don't correctly support the <script> tag, use this instead:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!-- <![CDATA[
function whatever() {
// Code
}
// ]]> -->
</script>
It validates and it works in older browsers.
