I am starting to get very fustrated. When I try to use the W3C validator for 
an HTML file, I keep getting the following error.

Line 13, column 53: there is no attribute "alt"

<li><a href="http://asic.bc.cx/asic_history.php"; alt="ASIC history">ASIC 
history</a></li>

You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document 
type you are using does not support that attribute for this element. This 
error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a 
document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Transitional" document 
type to get the "target" attribute), or by using vendor proprietary 
extensions such as "marginheight" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to 
achieve the desired effect instead).

This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in the 
document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no supported 
attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error message for 
further information.

How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute, 
(Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both allowed 
in the chosen document type, and/or use CSS instead of this attribute.
