We are using a file in our web application which contains following line

No when we validate this file with the w3c validator then noHref produces following error.

" value of attribute "NOHREF" cannot be "0"; must be one of "NOHREF" "

When we use 'false' in place of '0' as value, then again the same error produce.

Can somebody tell me how to overcome this error. and what ripple effect will be produced by that change.

What DTD are you using?

Have you tried true as a value?

Same error is produced when i used value "true".
But one interesting thing, when i donot provide any value, that is, only write noHref, then no error is produced. Is this the correct syntax. if i use it so, will it create any ripple effect?

nohref is an attribute that doesn't need to take a value in html (I forget the technical name). If you're using XHTML then you'll need to change this to nohref="nohref". Simply leave it out if you want to set it to false.

Argh! Spot on by Robin_reala! In HTML 4 it's a valueless attribute (like selected) in XHTML it's as Robin_reala said...
