David, you're right. I mentioned that. The only thing is that there's
no point having a javascript-only "a" tag wrapping an "img" tag when
the javascript can be put in the img tag. 

But you are right, that is what was causeing the validation error.

Also, I noted that he's probably validating HTML 4.0, not XHTML, or
he would have gotten errors on the "script" tag (no [CDATA[ section).
I guess this is what others were pointing to by having him link the
script rather that have it inline.
