Other - Can't validate HTML with javascript filling combobox
Hi,

I'm using a Javascript to fill the options of a combobox.

It's in XHTML STRICT, and I can get to be able to validate it.

Does anyone know what can be the problem??

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
	<head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
        <title>test</title>
        <link href="default.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
        <script type="text/javascript" src="scripts.js"></script>
	</head>
	<body>
        <form id="reg-form" method="post" action="test.html" class="form_formatted" onsubmit="return validate(this);">
            <fieldset>>
                <label for="year">test</label>
                <select id="year">
                    <script type="text/javascript">
                        FillRange(new Date().getFullYear(), 1950, 0);
                    </script>
                </select>
            </fieldset>
        </form>
	</body>
</html>


The validation error I get is:
document type does not allow element "script" here.

You can try using html code for COMBOBOX in HTML available at the following links. It is an Editable DropDown Listbox with any one select option as Editable (like a textbox ) and the rest as readonly.

You can't have script tags inside a select. The correct way to do it is to have javascript write the contents after the page loads. In your case creating an option element and appending it to the select.
