Hi Robert, the validator is right, the name attribute has not been deprecated in HTML 4.01 Strict, see http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.3 "name = cdata [CI] This attribute names the element so that it may be referred to from style sheets or scripts. Note. This attribute has been included for backwards compatibility. Applications should use the id attribute to identify elements." Cheers, jens -- Jens Brueckmann http://www.yalf.de
