Hi,
I discovered some of the problem: The W3C Markup Validator flagged
two errors, both caused by my code conflicting with the DTD I
specified. The Validator said:
<quote>
Line 14, Column 11: there is no attribute "NAME".
<h2 name="_Dummy1">_Dummy1</h2>
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)
</quote>
The DTD I had used was:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
I found the Transitional DTD at http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/loose.dtd,
which I am now using:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
The validator still gives me:
<quote>
Line 14, Column 11: there is no attribute "NAME".
</quote>
But I got this "name" attribute from http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp,
where it claims:
<quote>
<a name="tips">Useful Tips Section</a>
You should notice that a named anchor is not displayed in a special
way.
To link directly to the "tips" section, add a # sign and the name of
the anchor to the end of a URL, like this:
<quote>
<a href="http://www.w3schools.com/html_links.asp#tips">Jump to the
Useful Tips Section</a>
[snip]
<a href="#tips">Jump to the Useful Tips Section</a>
</quote>
Is this W3Schools stuff outdated? Any other suggestions?
Thanks in Advance,
Richard
