[RESOLVED] XHTML Strict 1.0 says form name is not an element

[postedoverseas]

Hi,
I am just converting my site from HTML 4 to XHTML 1.0.
I have run into a problem with a page that has two forms on it.
I get the error
Line 234 column 35: there is no attribute "name".

<form action="" method="post" name="friend" class="form500" id="friend" onsubmit
when I try to validate the code.
I could just get rid of the names but I have javascripts on one of the forms and so I need its name leaving intact so that the script can reference it.

Is there a way of doing this either in CSS or XHTML.

Thanks,
John

whats wrong with just making the javascript use id instead of name?

Day one, week one really, sould have thought of it myslef, I could have sworn that the validator hsa picked be up before for having id labels in there though.
Oh well, my mistake,
Thanks for that.
