You can fix them if you like by checking at W3C for validation.
I have to STRONGLY disagree here. If IE displays a script error then you have the show scripting errors turned on and it has detected a real script error. Dubbya already pointed out the error. I have it turned on because I do a lot of JS coding. Because I have it turned on, I see these annoying warnings on many sites. For me it throws up a red flag because it indicates sloppy coding: Do I trust this site when they are publishing syntactically incorrect javascript? How confident am I that the server side code is coded any better?

My recommendation is that when you test for IE compatibility, turn on "show script errors" and make sure you don't have any.
