Hi all, I do have a html-document which I would like to pass the w3 validation service (http://validator.w3.org)with no error. The html I've tested: web page Problem: There is one error with the border attribute:
1. Line 18, column 135: there is no attribute "BORDER" (explain...).
My line 18: <a href="http://www.atnotes.de"><img width="53" height="22" alt="Home" src="http://217.160.137.156/yabbse/YaBBImages/home.gif" border="0"></a> My line 19 has the same attribute, but no error appears: <a href="http://217.160.137.156/yabbse/YaBBHelp/index.html"><img width="47" height="22" alt="Help" src="http://217.160.137.156/yabbse/YaBBImages/help.gif" border="0"></a> Any idea why there is a problem with line 18 (but not with line 19) ? Many thanks in advance. Regards, Matthias

border is not supported if I remember correctly since you are supposed to use a style sheet for it.... I am no XHTML expert, but I think that is the cause... Eric

if you go here: http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/dreamweaver/articles/code_standards.html and I am correct with what I said above... goto that page and search for border (about 1/3 of the page), it tells you how to fix it. Eric

Thanks Eric. I've tried to reproduce this. But the only thing Dreamweaver is changing is adding the "border: 0px" in the CSS. So, I have included the line "border: 0px" in the CSS and deleted the border="0" in the HTML. But now an ugly border appears around the image (Mozilla Firefox, IE). Unfortunately, Dreamweaver is not perfect for strict HTML/CSS code as we all know. I've also tried to create a hyperlink on a image with Dreamweaver, but I got the same result with the validator. Any other idea out there? I wonder why there are no more questions about this issue. I think on almost every website there is an image with hyperlink. Maybe a bug in the validator? Regards, Matthias

border is not allowed, along with alot of other things. a style sheet is need to be used... here is an example:

Many thanks Eric. Now I've used the "border:0px;" in the style sheet and it works perfect. Regards, Matthias
