Hi there,
EO Menu facilitates targeting frames to cross-frame display of its Sub-Menus, which also sets the target frame to display loaded documents. That's great and well-illustrated in Demo.

However, when I tried implementing that, I encountered an XHTML validation error, but didn't prevent the Menu though from functioning as desired. As I noted, EO Menu relays on defining a name to base frame then assigning said name to its TargetFrame.

Under XHTML 1.0 and later, the name attribute becomes depreciated to the favour of id. Complying with XHTML standards however resulted in a confusing behaviour: the Menu displayed its Subs in the frame but not the loaded document, which were opened into a pop-up window; a common behaviour in HTML 4.01 (and XHTML) when referring to a non-existing frame! In other words, it recognised the id value as the target of its Subs but not the target of loaded documents!

So, the only way forward was to use both id and name, and assigning them identical values, sacrificing validity to the benefit of functionality.

To summarise:
EO Menu relays on 'naming' frames which is no longer supported by XHTML. Using frame's id value instead doesn't seem to thoroughly work. Is there a a fix or something to tweak in order to overcome this?

Thank you for that.

I'll be looking forward for a workaround or even an update. Meanwhile, I'll keep using both attributes.
