	outright error in error message? by Magda Wojtyra :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Some parts of this message have been removed. Learn more about Nabble's security policy. Attribute "BORDER" is not a valid attribute. Did you mean "border"? …go" width="980" height="133" border="0" usemap="#logo_mouse" class=logo_heade 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). -------- As you can see in the code snippet, I AM using lower case for “border”. So why does it think it’s in capitals? Very frustrating to get many repeated non-error errors like this!! I am using <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"> and the element in question is an image, so a border is perfectly fine. Thanks for reading, Magda :)

So why does it think it’s in capitals? It is a generic attempt at a suggested recovery. The feature works poorly and I believe it has been removed from the development version. I am using <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"> and the element in question is an image, so a border is perfectly fine. http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/index/attributes.html shows that the border attribute for img elements requires the loose (transitional) DTD. This sort of presentational detail is handled using stylesheets on modern webpages. -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk
