I'm using validator as part of my web design classes, and the example below as a question on "well-formed" vs "valid" vs "legal" for XHTML frameset DTD. (when enclosed in <?xml, <!DOCTYPE, <html xmlns... tags.) It is well formed and illegal (copyright issue) but is it valid? ... following the lead in Dave Ragget's book (WROX, Beginning XHTML, pg197) the "name" attribute is deprecated, and "id" attribute the correct way to indicate the frame name. However, it validates as "OK" with validator (using "name" but not "id"). Should ID be required if name is included? (Please respond to me directly since I've not joined the reflector. -- thanks.) ============= <frameset rows="64,*"> <frame name="banner" scrolling="no" noresize="noresize" src="MyAds.htm" /> <frameset cols="150,*"> <frame name="contents" scrolling="auto" src="MyIndex.htm" /> <frame name="body" scrolling="auto" src="http://www.newyorktimes.com" /> </frameset> </frameset> ============== -- Jim Isaak Internet/Standards Strategist +----------------------------------------------- J.Isaak@Computer.org http://www.JimIsaak.com Candidate for the IEEE Board of Directors: www.ieee.org/organizations/corporate/divVIII.htm Chair: Internet Best Practices Standards Committee http://computer.org/standards/Internet +-----------------------------------------------
