html issue

[musicgal]

I'm the head of the website division of my team's website, which has been pretty cool, since we're a rookie team and starting from scratch. We've been working primarily in dreamweaver, and then I go back and edit the code as needed. I've been trying to validate my page, because I think that's pretty important. I've gotten all the errors cleaned up except one. It comes up saying that there is no attribute "onclick." I have multiple lines of code that all are similar to this....

<font color="#FFFFFF" size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" onclick="MM_popupMsg('MESSAGE HERE')">24</font>

Basically it's a calendar that when you click on the date it displays the message. Anyway, for some reason dreamweaver stuck the "onclick" inside the font tag, which I know is the problem. But I'm not sure where to put the "onclick" tag. And is the problem due to the fact that the onclick is on text, instead of a link or anchor?

I hope that made sense. If anyone has any advice, I'd greatly appreciate it.
