Hi,

I dont know if anyone has discovered this problem, but the code being output
by the menu conrols seems to produce invalid transitional code and I end up
with this message from the validator

Line 43, Column 286: there is no attribute "valign".
8281250" alt="Expand Courses" valign="middle" /></td>

Has anyone seen this, got a useful comment etc ?

Cheers

.NET 2.0 does not product XHTML compliant responses.

http://www.google.com/search?q=.net%202.0%20xhtml%20compliant

There are some solutions if you absolutely need it to be compliant.

I always like a good argument, but the search results I provided shows
a whole bunch of different workarounds to the fact that generated code
is not XHTML compliant.

you can write a control adapter for the menu to make produce xhtml
compliant code (this may break downlevel browser support). see:

Now thats interesting .

PS: What I have since discoverered is that the term valign="Middle" does not
actually exist on my page, but there is a style attribut with
vertical-align=middle. I think the validator has got its nickers in a twist
here and I have reported it to them, so we shall see.
