I get the following syntax error in Firebug and I don't get what's it:
> syntax error [Break on this error]
> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTDXHT...org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">\n
Is it because of the final "\n" at the end ?
thanks
ps. I've just realized if I remove all scripts, I don't get that error. For example, if I remove these lines, I don't get it. If I add another script I get it again, so it doesn't depend on the script itself.
<script type="text/JavaScript" src="<?php echo $base_url; ?>sites/all/themes/bluemarine/js/main.js"></script>

Ryan Rampersad, blogged about this issue stating
The error comes from Firebug. The break on this error isn’t a part of the error but it is in the firebug copy dump....
syntax error [Break on this error] <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML…3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
The way I encountered this error was that I forgot to specify a src attribute value for my script tag!
<script type="text/javascript" src=""></script>
Here is the blog post.
I suspect that you have a <script>
pointing to a URL that returns an HTML document (possibly it should be coming with a 404 response but isn't)
In my case, when I received such error, the cause was "un authorised access" to the JS file.
To detect it, use FireBug, [HTML] tab: Try to expand each "script" node. one of these nodes contained the "401.html" page-content instead of the expected JS content.
