Re: [WSG] DTDS and which to use?

[JW]

Hi all   I have copied a page from my website and make the DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict just to see the diff btwn transitional and strict. You can see it here http://www.sodesires.com/about/strict.html   Well the xhtml validation shows error but even after reading the explanation of errors, I still could not really understand what they meant!   Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with an SGML parser. Line 11, column 17: there is no attribute "language" (explain...). <script language="_javascript_" src="" type="text/javasc ^ Line 38, column 85: there is no attribute "name" (explain...). .../header_title/about.gif" alt="" name="headertitle_default" width="235" height ^ Line 38, column 138: there is no attribute "border" (explain...). ...ault" width="235" height="80" border="0" id="headertitle_default" /></div> ^ Line 70, column 68: there is no attribute "target" (explain...). ...t.com/gallery/so_desires.php" target="_blank" class="aLeftCol">CSS Vault</a> ^ Line 74, column 125: there is no attribute "hspace" (explain...). ... pixel" width="7" height="23" hspace="10" />:: </span><span class="ttLeftCol" ^     With Regards, Jaime Wong ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SODesires Design Team http://www.sodesires.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -------Original Message-------   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 25/02/2004 2:30:59 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [WSG] DTDS and which to use?   Hi Jaime, you may also find this article of some use.
