The W3C validator flags the attribute "Name" as invalid. Apparently it
wants to see "ID" instead. Unfortunately, both of the most popular
browsers, Netscape or Internet Explorer, require "Name" in such objects
as document.Home.src
This is necessary for uses such as the following code fragment
<A HREF="../index.html" TARGET="_top"
onMouseOver="document.Home.src='Home_Over.jpg';"
onMouseOut="document.Home.src='Home.jpg';">
<IMG NAME="Home" SRC="Home.jpg" HEIGHT="20"
WIDTH=100 BORDER=0 ALT="Home"> </A>
The attribute "ID" will not work for this application which is quite
widespread and useful.
I could live with "ID" if you can suggest a work-around. Otherwise I will
continue to violate your standards which I really don't want to do.
