Validating a page which contain Google Maps Pro

I am having a few problems validating a page which contains Google Maps Pro.

Which Doctype am I supposed to be using for this page?

The first issue relates to the balloon created on the map. The address is within a Span, however validation says that it is not

  end tag for element "SPAN" which is not open  

<span style="font: 12px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: black;">2a Cricket Hill<br>Finchampstead<br>Berkshire<br>RG40 3TN</span>

The next 4 errors relate to the Google api key.....

  general entity "v" not defined and no default entity  

  reference to entity "v" for which no system identifier could be generated  

  general entity "key" not defined and no default entity  

  reference to entity "key" for which no system identifier could be generated  

Each time different parts of the api key are highlighted

there are more, but I wont go on just yet.

you can use whatever document type you like, though looking at the span tag code, the br tag does not get closed, so you should probably use 4.01 transitional.

I would need to see the page to idea on the spoan tag issue.



but the other ones are because of using an "&" in the google script url.


the google script tag will look like:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=2&key=........

replace the & with the html enitity:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=2&key=........

Thanks - I have attached the file as requested

actually a link would be more helpful than the actual file.

the span tag validation is occuring because it is part of a javascript:
infowindowtext: '<span style="font: 12px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: black;">2a Cricket Hill<br />Finchampstead<br />Berkshire<br />RG40 3TN</span>',

the validator does not think this is valid HTML even though it is. This is a false alert.
