Hi,

I am using Freeform and am getting a validation error when using the strict doctype because of the ‘name’ attribute. the W3C validator highlights this as the problem:

<form id=’freeform’ name=‘book_camilla’ method="post" action="http://www.s21029

It would be great if FreeForm could be changed so it does validate 100% using strict - that way we can all be good web citizens, practicing what we preach

Yes, “name” has been deprecated in XHTML 1.0 Strict. While I find “Transitional” statisfactory in almost all cases, this should not be too difficult to implement.

Adding form_name="blah" prints name="blah", however, name is not a valid attribute for forms in XHTML 1.0 Strict.

It would be great if FreeForm could still use the form_name parameter to organise things internally, but NOT print it out, so then it would produce valid XHTML 1.0 Strict.

Thanks
