Hi everyone.
Thanks to your help, all my web files validate except one!
I know you say "don't use frames," but for my sign language site at: http://www.parentsunited.info I must use frames to make it easy to use.

the index file that sets up the frames will not validate. I get the message (There is no attribute "cols")

<frameset cols="150,*">
<frame src="left.html" name="lf">
<frame src="right.html" name="rf">
</frameset>

Any help would be appreciated.
Harley

You need to change your DOCTYPE, use the Frameset doctype and it might validate.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//WC3//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">

I tested it with the w3C validator and it DOES validate as HTML 4.01 Transitional even without the framset Doctype.

Thanks, Ladynred. I replaces my:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www/w3/org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

With:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//WC3//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"

But there must me more wrong. Now I get the message:
character "<" invalid: only delimiter ">", delimiter "[", system identifier, "CDATA", "NDATA", "SDATA" and parameter separators allowed.

I appreciate your help. All my other files validate just fine.

Ok.. which page EXACTLY is giving you the error ?? As I said before, the site you linked to above, at least the home page DID validate even w/o the frameset DTD.

From the looks of it, you did not copy ALL of the DOCTYPE statement, you need BOTH lines that I posted AND the closing >.

WALA! It worked. I feel stupid for overlooking the second line you gave me. So, thanks to you and the others, LadynRed, All my files are now validated.

Thanks.
