Hi there huntt3,
and a warm welcome to these forums. ;)
The use of javascript for link rollovers is twentieth century methodology and should not be used.

Do you really need the XHTML DOCTYPE?
Would HTML 4.01 make your life simpler?

Older browsers need the name attribute but newer ones need ID. To satisfy everyone, use both name and ID and make them match and unique per page. It should then work with JavaScript or CSS and Doctype of HTML or XHTML.

There are basically none of these "older browsers" around any more - there is no need at all to use the name attribute any more.

Encyclo, I used to believe that such old browsers were gone, too. A coworker at the University of Michigan was teaching a computer class and found that nearly 1/3 of her class couldn't even see her pages. She was using the newest stuff and they were using WebTV!

Anyone using WebTV these days will find that vast swathes of the web are unusable. There are always a few edge cases, but I've not seen WebTV or any old browsers in any stats for many years. You have to draw the line somewhere, and for me WebTV is way over the other side of that line. :)

Could she draw the line at losing 1/3 of paying students? It was a language class not web-related except in the sense that it was on-line. To keep her job teaching the class, she had to make her pages available to all her students. The "line" she had to draw was whether or not she wished to get paid.
