           Summary: W3C Code validator errors when checking frames
           Product: Validator
           Version: 0.7.0
          Platform: Other
               URL: http://validator.w3.org/
        OS/Version: Windows 2000
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Website

My site has one page with frames using XHTML doc type frameset, and when I 
checked it using your code validator, it required that I take the / out of the 
<frame> tag in order for it to work.  Since correct XHTML requires that 
<frame /> be closed with a slash, your validator is giving out the incorrect 
feedback - saying that the slash is a character that requires quotes around 
it.  Removing the slash altogether allowed me to pass the validator check.  
Here is the code it wouldn't pass:

<html>
<head>
<title>Home Page</title>
</head>

<frameset rows="105, *">
	<frame name="logo" src="logo.html" />
<frameset cols="125, *">
	<frame name="links" src="tablelinks.html" />
	<frame name="target" src="frame3.html" />
</frameset>
</frameset>
</html>
