Its the name of the attribute that is missing, not a name attribute. For the benefit of the list; I've just run the URL through the validator in verbose mode and it doesn't give a clear explanation. Perhaps the error message should be revised? I think that even something as simple as "If you are using XHTML see <a>section 4.5 of the specification</a>" could help here, even if only as a standby measure until something better can be drafted. -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk
