Tidy message prob

[Wilhelm Kutting]

hi,
i like to solve a code-prob:

tidy is bitching about
<...> proprietary attribute "type"
<...> lacks "action" attribute

how can i make this nice?

this is my code
<form name="land" type="text/javascript">
<select name="land:" onChange="P7_JumpMenu(this,0)" >
<option value="" selected>Please choose:</option>

First use a validator like http://validator.w3.org/ to check your code.

After it validates you can then see what Tidy reports and if there is
any value in that (there may not be).

Forms are for gathering user input and they require server side
processing.
<select name="land:" onChange="P7_JumpMenu(this,0)" >
<option value="" selected>Please choose:</option>

Looks like you are abusing a form and javascript to create some sort of
navigation, stop doing that. Use links.

Code problem. Not a Tidy problem.

In HTML, <form> doesn't have a type attribute and requires an action
attribute.

Write valid HTML. Go to the W3C site and learn to read the DTD.
