How can I get this to validate as 4.01 strict

[Grytpype-Thynne]

Hi,

Can anyone help me to get this third party code to validate as 4.01
strict.

<form action="http://**********.org.uk/draw/draw_data.php" method="post"
target="PageName" onsubmit="window.open
('about:blank','PageName','directories=0,height=60 0,width=815,location=
0,menubar=0,resizable=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,tool bar=0')">
<img src="http://**********.org.uk/draw/images/lottery.gif"
width="110" height="20" alt="********* Lottery Nomination form"
align="middle">
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Nominate us
in the
monthly ********** UK Draw </font>
<input type="hidden" name="charity" value="YOUR CHARITY NAME HERE">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Nominate Now">
</form>

it validates as transitional but gives errors for the target="PageName"
and align="middle" and Font tag

The key thing is to generate a pre-sized popup without the un-necessary
navigation things + feed the charity name via a hidden field, I.e.

<input type="hidden" name="charity" value="Animals in Distress">

into their system at

<form action="http://**********.org.uk/draw/draw_data.php" method="post"
etc etc
I can remove the font tag to the style sheet but just can't think what to
do about the other problems.

You can't. They're not a part of HTML 4.01 strict, so you cannot do
that. You have two choices, stop trying to do that, or redeclare the
page as something that does allow it (e.g. HTML 4.01 loose).

It's like asking how do I have a red car but with blue paint. The two
are mutually exclusive. You can't do it.

Think carefully about whether a pop-up is a good idea. I hate them,
many others do, and many browsers now reject pop-ups as they're a common
pain.
