trouble validating a form

[mcolton]

I have code that gives 1 validation (xhtml 1.0 strict) error about using "name" inside a form. Below is the form line:



<form name="catadoptionform" method="post" action="catadoption.php" onsubmit="validate();">
<table>
<tr>
....
</tr>
</table>
</form>


What do I use instead on "name".
Thanks

have you already try to remove ; in the back of your validate()


<form name="catadoptionform" method="post" action="catadoption.php" onsubmit="validate()">
<table>
<tr>
....
</tr>
</table>
</form>


you see my code up there, there's no ; symbol behind the validate()

i hope it will help:)

Thanks but it still gives the same error:

Line 119, Column 15: Attribute "name" exists, but can not be used for this element.
<form name="catadoptionform" method="post" action="catadoption.php" onsubmit=✉

If it doesn't affect anything else you could use id="catadoptionform" instead.

Thanks. That worked
