[SOLVED] Validate Problems With onload
Hi,

I've just made the change from using GoLive and HTML to Dreamweaver CS3 and XHMTL and feeling a little in over my head.

I went to validate and came up with a series of errors related to the navigation buttons with the error: there is no attribute "onload"

The page can be seen at www.brainiacproductions.com/equal.html and the code looks like this:

Code: Select all
 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<script type="text/javascript">

    if (a[i].indexOf("#")!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=a[i];}}

I've looked up some articles on XHTML but don't really understand what I am supposed to replace the onload with.

Re: Validate Problems With onload
You are allowed the attribute onload in XHTML markup, but you can only assign it to the body tag.

I just ran your site through the HTML validator, and the problem is occuring because there is an empty onload attribute on an <a> tag!

Get rid of this and things should be sorted.

Re: Validate Problems With onload
Thank you! That is why I kept only seeing the onload in reference to the body tag which wasn't helping me. I wasn't finding anything directly about using onload with images so now it makes sense.

I am a bit confused why Dreamweaver automatically uses code that doesn't exist in XHMTL when you set up the page with that document property. To me, it makes it harder to figure out the problems. (Just my two cents worth).

Re: Validate Problems With onload
Out of interest, are you using design view? Because that is notorious for messy code
