I am having some more validation issues I have just added a search box to my page i did have it as xhtml strict and it was validating fine once i added this for it produced 50 errors then i changed the doc type to transitional now there are are only two errors it is saying there in no such attribute as onblur or onfocus??
I would really like to keep this as strict but when i keep it as strict there are three errors the two mentioned above and i also says that target="_self" is an invalid attribute.
Any ideas how i can fix this?

javascript statements end in '
strict means you have to complete your javascripts,
not sure if it isnt supposed to be
coz I dont write strict, still in html 4.01 trans,
or is it
I have no idea
my javascript sux, incidentally so must yours,
else why 'If this field is blank set this field to blank' (twice)
target='_self' forms take action='self' w3.org-forms
self is redundant,
can be written as
; 'strict means you have to complete your javascripts,

self is redundant,
can be written as
action='<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>' (in php) and is equally redundant<form action=""> will get it back here Last edited by almostbob; Feb 10th, 2009 at 2:37 pm.

thanks almostbob your last comment was perfect onfocus onblur have to be lower case. Yes you are right about my javascript it sucks I hate javascript. The php comment about using php_self well i thought about that before but action has to call search.php anyway thanks for that my page is validating 100% now

the script is probably using the onblur onfocus to validate the inputs, but you clipped them before displaying here
he said I should know that
