about MS_POSITIONING="GridLayout"

[amir_iiui]

I have to get the compliance of an application according to HTML 4.0. This application is built in asp.net.

Now MS_POSITIONING="GridLayout" attribute is present in each page in body tag. The W3c validator produces following error on that.

"there is no attribute " MS_POSITIONING" "

I want to remove this attribute from the body tag. Can somebody tell me what ( or no) ripple effects will be produced by removing this attribute? Is there some replacement for it available?

This sounds like something added by a GUI WYSIWYG editor, I'll guess something like Frontpage. Are there a lot of MS proprietary tags and attributes in your code?

Development is done in MS visual Studion .net . Only one such tag is present and this is in the body tag.

It's an invalid attribute so I think that you will see little effect by removing it.

My advice would be to remove it and test your application extensively.
