Ugh....

I'm using
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd">

And validator is saying "Sorry, this document does not validate as HTML 4.0 Transitional". It does say a couple of things like "document.write('<small>' + txt + '</small></a></center>');" isn't correct because there is a closing small tag for an unopenen small tag.

Are things like that enough to not comply with DOCTYPE?

The problem is not with DOCTYPE tag. Validator says that the rest of your document isn't HTML 4 Transitional and therefore you shouldn't use that DOCTYPE... Anyway, to solve your problem with ending HTML tags in JavaScript code, modify it to look something like this:

document.write('<small>' + txt + '</sm' + 'all></' + 'a></cen' + 'ter>');
