Why is SELECTED invalid? I have the following form...
HTML Code: [ Select ]
<select name="searchFor">
<option value="Username" SELECTED>Username</option>
<option value="Location">Location</option>
<option value="ID">Member ID</option>
<option value="Email">Email</option>
<option value="First Name AND Last Name">Name</option>
</select>
  1. <select name="searchFor">
  2. <option value="Username" SELECTED>Username</option>
  3. <option value="Location">Location</option>
  4. <option value="ID">Member ID</option>
  5. <option value="Email">Email</option>
  6. <option value="First Name AND Last Name">Name</option>
  7. </select>

Although, I can just remove it as it's the first option, but still, why is it bringing it up as invalid?

I just get an error...
Quote:
"SELECTED" is not a member of a group specified for any attribute

Nevermind, I fixed it... it was supposed to be the following code instead.
HTML Code: [ Select ]
<option value="something" selected="selected">something</option>

Thanks though

XHTML DOCTYPE, right ?

The "checked" & "disabled", & "readonly" attributes are the same way.

Code: [ Select ]
<input type="checkbox" name="cb" checked="checked" disabled="disabled" readonly="readonly" />
Strong with this one, the sudo is.

If it wasn't an XHTML DOCTYPE, you'ld be right.
