The problem is that the DTD at the URL <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd> is now the DTD for HTML 4.01 Transitional and not the older HTML 4.0 Transitional. I've been complaining about this for a -long- time ;-). There is no NAME attribute for IMG in HTML 4.0. This was added in HTML 4.01 to provide backwards compatibility with browsers which can't handle using the ID attribute. If you change your DOCTYPE to HTML 4.01 Transitional the error will go away. -- Christian Smith | csmith@barebones.com | http://web.barebones.com He who dies with the most friends... Is still dead!
