DW Nav Menu

Hi:

I am not understanding the explanation of why my Nav Menu is not validating,
either in DW or W3C. Please advise...

I can also build this in CSS, but I was hoping for some enlightenment.

Thx, Ned

It's not validating because the antique method that you selected adds
invalid code to implement a feature that is only supported on framed pages.
In other words, the invalid code is added to do something that you won't
ever see anyhow.

To get your page to validate, change this -

<img src="images/home_off.gif" alt="link to Home page" name="home"
border="0" id="home" onload="">

to this -

<img src="images/home_off.gif" alt="link to Home page" name="home"
border="0" id="home">

for each button in your navigation element.

If it were me, I'd remove that entire navigation element from the page, and
replace it with simple image swaps for each linked button image.

What about if you change your doc type to transitional instead of strict. Then it will validate? If you use the latter and check HTML Tidy it'll even write your code for you.

You cant have onload="" on the anchor attribute (see near the end
below), remove it and the validation error should go away.


<a href="index.html" target="_top"
onclick="MM_nbGroup('down','group1','home','images /home_down.gif',1)"
onmouseover="MM_nbGroup('over','home','images/home_over.gif','',1)"
onmouseout="MM_nbGroup('out')"><img src="images/home_off.gif" alt="link
to Home page" name="home" border="0" id="home" onload=""></a>


Like this:


<a href="index.html" target="_top"
onclick="MM_nbGroup('down','group1','home','images /home_down.gif',1)"
onmouseover="MM_nbGroup('over','home','images/home_over.gif','',1)"
onmouseout="MM_nbGroup('out')"><img src="images/home_off.gif" alt="link
to Home page" name="home" border="0" id="home"></a>

It's not on the anchor. It's on the image.

On a second look, it is. On the first look it was, but I overlooked it

I hate it when I overlook something I'm looking at.
