I'm having a problem with the W3C validator: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...missive.com%2F
I don't understand this error message:
Line 117, column 61: an attribute specification must start with a name or
name token
....ef="/" accesskey="H" title="Access Key: Alt+H" id="here"">Home </a>
Check for stray quotes or incomplete attribute definitions.
Note that the final " before >Home</a> is what the validator thinks is
needed, not what is in the source. The only thing I can think is that
either the : or the + in the title attribute value are causing a problem
but I can't think why. Any suggestions?
TIA, Darren

Looks like it's in the source to me. What makes you think it isn't?

I don't see any reason why you are using two "'s in a row at the end.
What's your reasoning for having that extra "?
Unless you can give a darn good reason for that to be double double
quotes, kill one in each case. Do that and add the </li> tags where
missing, making the markup look like
<li>
<a href="/" accesskey="H" title="Access Key: Alt+H" id="here">Home </a>
</li>
and your page should validate.

Arghh -- sorry, you're correct. Mozilla's view-source *doesn't* show it. I
thought view-source showed you the actual source code Mozilla received
from the server, not what Mozilla had parsed it as.
Thanks for that.

Mozilla's view source window leaves much to be desired. I generally use a
text editor, Opera and IE allow me to do so, but not Mozilla.
Alternately, check "Show Source" in the validator, the actual source will
be presented below the results.

I didn't realise that I was! The navbar is generated by a PHP script, and
Mozilla's view-source was NOT showing the second " and so I misread the
validator error as saying that I *needed* an extra " -- e.g. because for
some reason it thought that one of the attributes wasn't closed properly.
Now I can see that the extra closing " was being generated by my PHP
scripts, and I've fixed it (and fixed the problem with the missing </ul>
in the nested lists). The fix should be up soon.
Thanks, Darren

Your query is obviously answered already, but on another issue:
Why put the access key in the title attribute? It doesn't describe the
target of the link, which is what title is for in the case of <a>.
And it isn't even very useful, because the usual way to see the title is
to hover over the link with the mouse - at which point one would surely
click rather than go back to the keyboard!
(It's pretty rubbish the way browsers don't give any indication of what
the access key is, but I just disagree that title is a very good way of
getting around that problem...)

Not necessarily. It's one good use of it (where the link text alone
isn't sufficient) but it could be used for any other supplemental
information.
And it isn't even very useful, because the usual way to see the title
is to hover over the link with the mouse - at which point one would

That is true, but only in browsers that require hovering to show the
title attribute. And it's also not necessarily correct because of the
various different ways of triggering accesskeys.
(It's pretty rubbish the way browsers don't give any indication of
what the access key is, but I just disagree that title is a very good

Well, browser accesskey implementation in general is fairly bad. And
inconsistent - Alt+H in some, Ctrl+H in others, Shift+Esc,H in
Opera. Only Opera's implementation avoids the possibility of
collisions with other keys (Alt+H minimises the browser for me, Ctrl+H
is help, etc.)
Some people recommend to use numeric accesskeys to get around this,
but on my system Alt+number switches between different workspaces on
the desktop and so would never be picked up by the browser (and if the
browser did pick it up it would switch between tabs).

I agree -- it is sub-optimal. It's the technique I am using for now until
I can think of a better way of doing it.
And it isn't even very useful, because the usual way to see the title is

Yes! I am aware of these shortcomings. In fact, accesskeys just seem
pretty broken to me in general, but I include them in an effort to be a
good citizen.
(It's pretty rubbish the way browsers don't give any indication of what

Unfortunately, in all my reading I am yet to come across a good way of
using accesskeys. All the techniques I've seen are beset with problems.

I noble motive, but using access keys generally doesn't help people, and
doesn't make you a better citizen. In addition to being largely ignored
(due to limitations of user agents and users), they can cause real harm -
especially to people with disabilities. For example, suppose you are
accustomed to using Alt+o to open your current browser's help system. One
day you visit a page and need some help from the browser, and you type
Alt+o. Suddenly something completely different happens - something that
the page author associated with your Alt+o by using accesskey="o".
Accesskeys are fundamentally broken, since they have been implemented
using the same technique as browsers' built-in (or programmable)
shortcuts, thereby clashing with them. And those shortcuts are crucial to
many people (e.g., those who cannot use a mouse) and a great convenience
to many people who like to work with keyboard control - after all, such
things explain why accesskey was invented in the first place.

Hello,
If you add (say) two text boxes to a form, then add a validator with
some simple rule for one of them, you can observer the following
problem:-
Type some erroneous value in the text box with the validator, then click
on the other text box. This makes the validator's red error message
appear. Now, change the invalid text to something valid, and without
clicking anywhere else, click the submit button.
