Re: IMG tag

It is possible to do mouseovers without using the NAME attribute in IMG
tags, by using the image array.  However, on 24 Dec a revision of the HTML
4 spec, HTML 4.01, was issued, and one of the changes is that the NAME
attribute is now valid with the IMG tag (see
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/objects.html#adef-name-IMG).  So if you
use the HTML 4.01 DTD, you should find that it now validates OK.
