It's because the DTD that you validate against does not allow the border attribute in some context. Simple as that. Please remember that validation only checks a document against a DTD that you specify (though some validators make a guess on a DTD if you incorrectly fail to provide one). Nothing more, nothing less. If you have problems in validation, you should post the URL, not an extract of code. Specifically, the URL would reveal the DTD. > Line 41, column 77: there is no attribute "BORDER" (explain...). > > I am sure there is a border attribute in the image tag, isn't there? You don't need to guess or ask. You can check the DTD. If you don't know how to do that, why do you validate? (This is something that I ask very often. Nothing personal.) You are using a border attribute in an input element. No published DTD allows it there. On the practical side, that attribute is used by some people since some versions of Netscape draw a border around an image submit button unless you use that attribute. -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
