RE: Re: New Site - Your Opinion



Ian,

Without seeing the page, my guess is that you're either not passing a schema (in which case the validator is probably defaulting to 4.01 strict), or you're explicitly passing 4.01 strict..

FRAMESET isn't in 4.01 Strict, it's only in 4.01 Frameset.

Suggest that you put the following at the start of your document, before the HTML bit.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"
      "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">


Regards,

Mark

Huh??

This is strange.. I pass the validator a webpage I am working on,
which is a
framset, and it complains on this:

<frameset cols="180,810,*" border="0">

"Error: there is no attribute "COLS" for this element (in this HTML
version)"
"Error: element "FRAMESET" not defined in this HTML version"
"Error: there is no attribute "BORDER" for this element (in this HTML
version)

whilst, er, on this page... (HTML 4.01 Strict specification)
http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/present/frames.html#h-
16.2.1

It says..

In the following example, the outer FRAMESET divides the available
space
into three equal columns. The inner FRAMESET then divides the second
area
into two rows of unequal height.

<FRAMESET cols="33%, 33%, 34%">
     ...contents of first frame...
     <FRAMESET rows="40%, 50%">
        ...contents of second frame, first row...
        ...contents of second frame, second row...
     </FRAMESET>
     ...contents of third frame...
</FRAMESET>

which is *always* how I have done framesets??

it says the same for any HTML version!!

any clues??

Ian
