Of course, you also have the option of ignoring the error message. I would suggest that if and only if you know what you are doing with the tag.

In any case, for the purposes of markup validation, whatever it means in detail, the examples at this or that site purporting to teach people HTML are immaterial. -- Yucca, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
