Jake, in a first move to be rid of frames on my remaining frames
site, I turned all the *actual* content and navigation pages (as
distinct from the frameset pages which are in 4.01 Frameset)
into 4.01 Strict in a CSS overhaul. All was fine but I was then
surprised to find that my home link on these pages was not W3C
kosher because this DTD does not support the "target" attribute
(="_top"). I use this attribute so that the home page (which is
not a frameset at all) comes up in the whole browser window
rather than in one of the two frames (simple nav left and
content right). W3C says to use Transitional for this attribute.
I could not face going back so I left it and it works still in
all the browsers I know. But it is an irritation as I like at
least to have stuff validate. Any thoughts on this? How bad is
it to be not quite validated in this respect in your opinion?
