[ale] html/javascript question.. linux < OT < baseball strike

[Geoffrey]

For a long while now I I've used a bit of javascript to change an image 
when the image is selected (onMouseDown()).  To do this, the img tag 
contains a 'name=foo' attribute which is used by the javascript to 
locate the image.

I just happened to run the w3c html validator against this code and it 
notes that 'name=foo' is not a valid attribute for HTML 4.0.  Removing 
the reference rids me of the validator error, but then the onMouseDown() 
does not work, and I get a javascript error in the javascript console.

Anyone else doing something like this, I guess in a different way, so as 
to please both html 4.0 and javascript??

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
