Hello,

I have FrontPage 2003 and I am getting 2 errors on my
www.o-realestate.com/buy_a_home.htm page.

I am not able to fix thise 2 problems. Can anybody help me.
Thank you.

1-)
Line 163, Column 180: there is no attribute "LANGUAGE".
…Page_Form1_Validator(this)" language="JavaScript" name="FrontPage_Form1"
2-)
Line 163, Column 230: there is no attribute "WEBBOT-ACTION".
…name="FrontPage_Form1" webbot-action="--webbot-self--"> <!--webbot bot="
 
These are required for the frontpage form and there is nothing you can do to
"fix" it. The problem with W3C validation is, a lot of things are done to
get pages to work well cross-browser that don't validate. Other things, such
as these errors, won't effect the rendering mechanism and view of a page at
all, but are required by application such as FrontPage. Basically, it's a
problem that's not really something to worry about as 1) without this code
your form doesn't work, and 2) they don't effect how anyone will view your
site.

Hope this helps,

The first error can be fixed by changing that line to -

Page_Form1_Validator(this)" type="text/javascript" name="FrontPage_Form1"

or even this -

Page_Form1_Validator(this)" name="FrontPage_Form1"

The second one is required by FP, as Mark says.

Say what? I would say that the actions of FP's webbots were designed
without regard for the W3C's standards. This issue is the result of that
careless decision, not any particular attempt to make things work
cross-browser.
 
However, FP will re-write the script tag, if any form field validation added or modified.
