I'm trying to validate some code (HTML 4.0 Transitional) using the W3C
HTML Validation service, and I get the following report:

Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with an
SGML parser.
Line 82, column 11:
  <form name="cSelect" action="main.asp">
             ^
Error: there is no attribute "NAME"
Line 90, column 208:

                                                        ^
Error: there is no attribute "NAME"


However, the HTML 4 specs show that both IMG and FORM tags can have
NAME attributes. Any idea why the validator is rejecting these?

Thanks.
