Note that it says: "on any page that validates". So I can put it on an HTML 4.01 Strict page, or on a YuccaML page, right, provided just that it validates? > This leads to two questions: > > - Should I put this <IMG> into the <NOFRAMES> sections? That would appear to be the only way to include it into a frameset document. Maybe users of noframes-capable browsers, together with search engines, will appreciate the "Valid HTML 4.01 Frameset" text. But as the suggestion says, you can put it on any page that validates. > - Which ALT text should I put into a *single* frame: > "Valid HTML 4.01 Transitional" or "Valid HTML 4.01 Frameset"? The suggestion seems to say that you can put either of them, or perhaps both - you can put two icons on one page, can't you? The logical approach would seem to be to use text that corresponds to the doctype of the document in a frame, which is Transitional or maybe sometimes Strict, unless it's itself a frameset. Wouldn't it be cool if the user could see an icon in each frame and immediately check, using conveniently the mouse to see the alt text as a tooltip, whether the frame is Transitional, Strict, or maybe Frameset? -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
