Thanks for pointing this out. HTML validation errors, while not pleasant, aren't as critical as you might think to search engines. Using the same validator service you linked too, Google's own (very 'light') home page has 35 errors.

However, that doesn't mean that we want to leave HTML output problems in our code. The cause of most of these seems to be non-encoded Javascript urls. Where the url currently is:
blah.com/index.php?option=com_jfbconnect&tmpl=loginregister
it should actually be (notice the encoded '&' character):
blah.com/index.php?option=com_jfbconnect&tmpl=loginregister

We'll watch out for this in future releases and be updating some of these urls in the 3.0 release. If we miss any, feel free to let us know, and we'll get them all in the release after that.

Hi. Thanks for the quick reply.. not only &, "an entity that starts with "&", then should terminate it with ";" and ();">Connect) is giving errors.... any way i made my point. and i am waiting for the next version :)
Cool software though. but i hope one day u would integrate a plugin for like & share also.. currently i use a third party plugin for tht which can put either a LIKE or SHARE button at the end of every article. :)

Got you covered with the Like and Share buttons. We have modules for all of the items on the page below already ready for JFBConnect 3.0. We're working on it today, and shooting to have the first release out by the end of the weekend if we can package it up and finish all the testing we need to do.
