Validation error: No attribute 'name'

[Cheshil]

Hi there,

I just ran my form though the W3C validator and got the above error. Obviously the attribute 'name' is not allowed.

Is there any other way to use 'value' in the code below so it does validate? I am using this in conjunction with a javascript form validator.

onsubmit="return formcheck(this);" value="submit"

Many thanks

Which doctype are you using, Cheshil? You can replace

name

with

id

to make it validate, but you would have to adapt your Javascript.

Usually the quickest and easiest way is to switch to a Transitional doctype, where the

name

attribute is still present.

Hi there,

Thanks for the reply.

I am using strict doc.

Yes, maybe I should just change to transitional.

Many thanks

This was discussed in another thread.
If I remember correctly, the required doctype is 4.01 rather than 4.0
