I am using a doctype of XHTML 1.0 Transitional. I receive a validation error for having the "name" attribute in the iframe tag. I am using this exactly from the user's guide: <iframe name="gToday:normal:agenda.js" id="gToday:normal:agenda.js"
src="ipopeng.htm" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"
style="visibility:visible; z-index:999; position:absolute; top:-500px; left:-500px;">
<LAYER name="gToday:normal:agenda.js" src="npopeng.htm" background="npopeng.htm"> </LAYER>
</iframe>

If it matters, it is used in a ASP.Net 2.0 page.

Will this be updated so the code validates? Thank you.

The name attribute is required for Mozilla based browsers - you may simply remove it if you don't care about FireFox support.

The name attribute is a standard element of XHTML 1.0, as per http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/dtds.html#a_dtd_XHTML-1.0-Transitional .

Which validator were you using? Maybe you should just ignore the validation warning as it's a false alarm.

Thank you for the fast response. It's coming from the built in Visual Studio 2005 validator when a build is done. It gives it as a warning, that 'name' is considered outdated and that a newer construct is recommended. I was trying to remove all warnings. I'll just ignore this warning.
