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
