Why won’t the first target validate

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Anyone know why the first target tag on my page (no matter where or how many occur) triggers an error whenever I try to validate?

I’m using xhtml 1.0 strict and everything clears except this.

Is it a bug?

@ray326May 22.2006 — I think it's a validator error and target should never be valid for XHTML strict.

@Reli4ntauthorMay 25.2006 — yeah, I miss it though. I figured out to open up a page with a frame to keep the client on my site but let them foray into another. Anyone know a better idea?

@kenkamMay 25.2006 — Feel doomed? Why is that? Many sites out there use transitional. There's nothing wrong with that.

@Reli4ntauthorMay 25.2006 — Transitional implies temporary and short-lived. It exists and a bridge between what was and what will be.

I'd rather just cross the bridge than to camp out in the middle of it.

@kenkamMay 25.2006 — Fair enough.

Perhaps over the other side of the bridge, target="xxx" doesn't exist...

You'll either have to camp out in the middle, or don't use target at all.

AH! I suppose you could use javascript to do that for you.

This might just solve all your xhtml strict woes!

Success!
