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.
