 * Hello. I’m getting an invalid HTML error message with the widget embed on [http://www.idahoednews.org](http://www.idahoednews.org).
   The opening container div has a close tag. Below is the HTML block from viewing
   source code:
 * <li id=”opinionstage_widget-2″ class=”widget opinionstage_widget”><div id=”container_3404671″/
   >
    <script> (function () { var opst = document.createElement(‘script’); var os_host
   = document.location.protocol == “https:” ? “https:” : “http:”; opst.type = ‘text/
   javascript’; opst.async = true; opst.src = os_host + ‘//’ + ‘www.opinionstage.
   com/containers/3404671/embed.js’; (document.getElementsByTagName(‘head’)[0] |
   | document.getElementsByTagName(‘body’)[0]).appendChild(opst); }()); </script

 * I’m using Google Chrome 49.0.2623.87 on OS X El Capitan, but the browser is self-
   correcting the HTML markup. If you run the following HTML validator for idahoednews.

   on this site. Hence, the nitpicking. Thanks for your help.
