Yeah, those messages make sense I think... I guess FF realizes that your trying to eval something that's purely markup and tries to parse it as XML... incorrect nesting of the tags in the first case makes sense for that message, as no closing tag makes sense for the second, if it were trying to parse it. I guess maybe it examines the contents your eval'ing and differentiates between pure markup and script? Interesting!
