Here's the snippet of code that won't validate:

if (user_age > 15 && user_age < 91)

It gets the following errors:

XML Parsing Error: StartTag: invalid element name

and

XML Parsing Error: xmlParseEntityRef: no name

The first error is thrown for the less than and the second one is thrown twice, once for each ampersand.

Replacing the above signs with & and < validates fine, but of course it completely ruins the function.

Or you can protect the script from the xml validation like this:

<script type=text/javascript> 

//<![CDATA[

    if (user_age > 15 && user_age < 91) {

        // do soemthing

    }

//]]>

</script>
