[ja ba]

i'm trying to load a html page into a div. it works, but won't validate!

here's the feedback:
Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with
an SGML parser.

Line 71 , column 11 :there is no attribute "src"

<div src= "project/matt.html" name="img" ></div>

Line 71 , column 36 :there is no attribute "name"

<div src="project/matt.html" name= "img" ></div>

Define "works". The validation part is easy. A validator by definition
checks whether your document complies with the formal syntax you have
specified. If you don't know what to do with a mismatch report, why did
you try to validate in the first place?

Check what the DTD you specified says about the attributes of <div>.

Totally illegible. There's hardly much point in trying to fix the page.
Honestly, you will make it a decent WWW page much faster by rewriting it.
First learn some HTML, and use it only. When it works, consider adding
CSS and JavaScript.

Not surprisinglly, the message means just what it says. It's not valid
because there is no such attribute as SRC or NAME on a DIV element.

Yes; I sure hope you do take that recommendation serious if you really
want visitors.

Key point being that I can't read your text either, your font size is
way too small and the individual characters looks like "fliegendre ck" to
say the least. (and my comment here is serious, I'm not trying to
patronize you, please believe me)

I take it you have used pixel sizing for your font(s) since MSIE does
not react on its internal font size change command either.

In short; if this page of yours is intended for the WWW, it's time for
you to go "back to the drawing board".
