JavaScript and validation Strict

[Muffin_LA]

Hi everyone;

I am trying to validate a page using Strict dtd. The problem is that the image tag uses the name attribute which isnt allowed in Strict. But I need the name attribute because of the following:

document.animation.src = horses[curHorse].src;
<p><img src="rockinghorse0.jpg" name="animation" alt="Rocking Horse" /></p>

Is there any way to get around this?

Thanks
Linda

Try changing the name attribute to id. Some of the tutorials I've been going through lately say that name was replaced by id.

Hope this helps.

Hi greenpastureslc:

I figured it out after much searching. I changed the

document.animation
to
document.images[0]
and deleted the name attribute from the image tag.

It works

Thanks

I'll have to remember that if I ever come accross that situation.
