Hi there--
I've found what I believe to be a bug in the HTML validator. It
doesn't seem to understand the "name" attribute when present in <IMG> tags
(e.g. for use in JavaScripts). Try this:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.twu.net%2F
The only error this yields is:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Line 147, column 124:
... "dk1();"><img
src="/images/unlit.gif" alt="" name="lite1" border=0></a ...
^
Error: there is no attribute "NAME"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
It says that there is no attribute "NAME", but there most certainly
is! (By the way, this problem occurs with BOTH the 3.2 DTD and the 4.0
Transitional DTD)
Please consult:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/objects.html#edef-IMG
As you can see, there is most definitely a "name" attribute.
Isn't this a bug? If so, can it be fixed as soon as possible?
