Hmm, nothing is highlighting for me, but I'm on an older version of DW, maybe it's less picky.
What happens if you ad a semi-colon right before the </script> tag in this line...
<script>var __adobewebfontsappname__="dreamweaver"</script>

This is all very weird... I'm having the same problem but none of the fixes are working for me...
1. Have tried Murray's fix of deleting the <title></title> tags in this thread:

2. Have tried your fix of deleting the: type="text/javascript" from the opening <script> tag.
3. Have tried Jon's fix of the semi-colon before the closing </script> tag.
Nothing works except deleting the closing tag itself!
However, right now, it's crazy. The error is pointing to a blank line!
And the message reads: "There is a syntax error on line 83. Code hinting....."
Most weird....

Could you start a new thread on yours?
I'm guessing there is an error in your code, but would need to see more in order to help. Please start up a new thread with a link to your malfunctioning page and we can take a look.
Well Jon, the code is very simple... it's generated by DW's form check... and, as i said, it happens with unfailing regularity the minute it's put in to a template generated child.
This is what the code on the page looks like:
<head>
<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="doctitle" -->
<title>Title Here</title>
<meta name="Keywords" content="some keywords here" />
<meta name="Description" content="Description here" />
<script type="text/javascript">
function MM_validateForm() { //v4.0
if (document.getElementById){
var i,p,q,nm,test,num,min,max,errors='',args=MM_validateForm.arguments;
for (i=0; i<(args.length-2); i+=3) { test=args[i+2]; val=document.getElementById(args);
if (val) { nm=val.name; if ((val=val.value)!="") {
if (test.indexOf('isEmail')!=-1) { p=val.indexOf('@');
if (p<1 || p==(val.length-1)) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain an e-mail address.\n';
} else if (test!='R') { num = parseFloat(val);
if (isNaN(val)) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain a number.\n';
if (test.indexOf('inRange') != -1) { p=test.indexOf(':');
min=test.substring(8,p); max=test.substring(p+1);
if (num<min || max<num) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain a number between '+min+' and '+max+'.\n';
} } } else if (test.charAt(0) == 'R') errors += '- '+nm+' is required.\n'; }
} if (errors) alert('The following error(s) occurred:\n'+errors);
document.MM_returnValue = (errors == '');
} }
</script>
<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
</head>
And, whammo: "There is a syntax error on line xx. Code hinting may not work until you fix this error."
And, the error always highlights the closing </script> line.
The script itself is fine:
1. If one puts it into an external js file, there's no problem
2. If one puts it in the body section, there's no problem
3. If one puts it in the template, there's no problem
Also, if one removes the closing </script> tag, the error goes away 
The problem only happens in a child generated by a template and in the location I've illustrated. Apparently, this is a problem a lot of users are facing...
