Snot Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I'm having some trouble with this error. One of the reasons that its throwing me off so much is that I'm using the exact same code in a number of places in my site and only one of them shows up as an error. <ul name="home" id="home"> <ul name="search" id="search"> <ul name="submit" id="submit"> <ul name="forum" id="forum"> <ul name="contact" id="contact"> http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wararmada.com%2Ftdb%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=1&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.2 1. Error there is no attribute X ✉ You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not support that attribute for this element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead). This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error message for further information. How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute, (Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both allowed in the chosen document type, and/or use CSS instead of this attribute. If you received this error when using the <embed> element to incorporate flash media in a Web page, see the FAQ item on valid flash. * Line 51, column 16: there is no attribute "NAME" <ul name="home" id="home"> Do you see where i going wrong?

requinix Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 For whatever reason, the validator is showing that error once. Don't mistake that for meaning all the others are correct - they aren't. nodes can't have names. If you're trying to use it as an anchor ("#home") then an id is enough.
