I don't see anything in those links that necessitates the use of "name"; the problems seem to be related to the element having 'layout', not which attributes it uses. But if I'm wrong, or if name is required for some other reason, then it's perfectly valid to use it in (X)HTML Transitional, just not Strict. -- Martin Lambert [EMAIL PROTECTED] ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
