There's a jQuery plugin called "metadata" that allows you to put these kinds of options inside the class=" " attribute. An example is on this page: http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/plugins/metadata/test/index.html The tags that use a data=" " attribute don't validate, but the ones that use class=" " seem to validate. Maybe you could try to find a way to use the class=" " attribute to pass your options to Lightbox++, or use a similar plugin for jQuery that allows options to be submitted via the metadata plugin. This way you won't have to rely on putting incorrect attributes in your tags. -- -- Christian Montoya christianmontoya.net ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org *******************************************************************
