dropdownlist breaks xhtml validation

[eurorscg]

Hi,

i have this dropdownlist that breaks xhtml w3c validation.beca use it
generates a select tag with a javascript property. this only happens
when autopostback is set to true.

so the the validation error that i get is this:

# Error Line 263 column 86: there is no attribute "language".

....PostBack('d ropArchive','') " language="javas cript" id="dropArchive ">

this is the code.

this control:

<asp:dropdownli st id="dropArchive " runat="server"
AutoPostBack="T rue"></asp:dropdownlis t>

generates this html:

<select name="dropArchi ve" onchange="__doP ostBack('dropAr chive','')"
language="javas cript" id="dropArchive ">
<option value="1">Episo de 1</option>
<option value="2">Episo de 2</option>
<option selected="selec ted" value="3">Episo de 3</option>
</select>
any idea on how can i stop the dropdownlist to generate the
language="javas cript" bit?

thanks
