Hey List,
Just a question - I am using a XHTML 1.1 Strict DTD.
It seems that you cannot giveform elements or anchor elements a "name" this causes a few issues...
#1 - anchors - when I have a SKIP TO CONTENT link. It doesn't like the NAME I have given the <a>... Isn't this the only *proper* way of anchoring inside the page???
#2 - forms - when I have custom buttons (javascript: document.formnamehere.submit())
That doesn't work.
My problem is that form buttons don't look or act the same in all browsers, so I use a <a> styled like a button.
When they click it, it uses that javascript to submit the form.
But it requires the form to have a name...
Why is the NAME attribute ruled out nowfor those two elements? Doesn't that have a very limiting effect on the forms? I know <input> can have a name - because it works with <label>...
Any ideas?
Sorry if this has been discussed over and over - just it has never come up with my work before??
Cheers
