    Not completely sure as to what you are trying to do. Firstly a CDATA section a section used in an XML doc to instruct the parser to interpret that section as character data. Are you wrapping some JavaScript in a CDATA section for transformation with an xsl???

    If you have no idea what I am writing about, just delete <![CDATA[ and ]]> and it should work.

    Sorry I am putting it into html

    I need to put it in so I can get around the W3C strict xhtml validation.

    try 
    <script type="text/javascript">
/* <![CDATA[ */
//functions in here 
/* ]]> */
</script>

    Now I understand.

    Here is a strict XHTML Page:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!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" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
    <head>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            <![CDATA[

             ]]>
         </script>
        <title>XHTML Example</title>
    </head>


    <body>
        <p>This is a tiny example of an <acronym title="Extensible HyperText 
        Markup Language">XHTML</acronym> document.</p>
    </body>
</html>

    (most of it copied from example at wikipedia)

    Try this in your browser. If it works then recheck your code, if it fails, then its probably something to do with whatever browser you are running.
