[WSG] title question
I just came across something new for me. I just started working with this company and they are using jsp with Tomcat and Jaquar as the server environment. the pages are being built with Forte as the editor of choice. I tried, in all my accessibility lovingness to add title tags to some images on a page today and it is telling me that the title tag is not allowed by the dtd and it won't parse the page. here is our doctype !DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd; +When is a title tag not allowed on an image? Here's an older version of the page. Please don't scream at the tables layout. That's what my job is to do, make the next version of the site css based. http://www2.csatravelprotection.com/csa/do/csa/dispatcher?forward=asalescontactphc=bqbrq2y9xk770 This is the page before I began adding the title tags.

I'm assuming that you are talking about the title= attribute rather than the title tag? I tried the link you provided got a session timeout error. Can you double check it and provide one that works so I can look into the problem for you?

Re: [WSG] title question [Virus checkedAU]
This email is to be read subject to the disclaimer below. Hi Ted, It would be useful to post the code you are working on - or the validator results. An initial guess at the problem would be that it is an error (missed bracket/unclosed tag) before the img tag that is causing the problem. The error messages from the validator can be a bit cryptic at times.

You're right, it is allowed. I'm not sure, but I think I spotted the cause. If you look at the attibute list you'll notice there's no title: !ATTLIST IMG %attrs; -- %coreattrs, %i18n, %events -- src %URI; #REQUIRED -- URI of image to embed -- alt %Text; #REQUIRED -- short description -- longdesc%URI; #IMPLIED -- link to long description (complements alt) -- nameCDATA #IMPLIED -- name of image for scripting -- height %Length; #IMPLIED -- override height -- width %Length; #IMPLIED -- override width -- usemap %URI; #IMPLIED -- use client-side image map -- ismap (ismap)#IMPLIED -- use server-side image map -- align %IAlign; #IMPLIED -- vertical or horizontal alignment -- border %Pixels; #IMPLIED -- link border width -- hspace %Pixels; #IMPLIED -- horizontal gutter -- vspace %Pixels; #IMPLIED -- vertical gutter -- However, the fists attribute listed is %attrs; which, as the comment indicates, refers to %coreattrs, %i18n, and %events. You need to go to %coreattrs; before you find the title attribute. So the problem is your software is lazy. I hope this helped (but I get the feeling it didn't). I guess it's time for a nasty email to the publisher. * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help *
