Description Andrew Peace 2005-10-06 10:09:43 UTC 
The validator does not recognize the iframe tag, but on the w3schools web site,
you list the iframe tag as valid xhtml.
Comment 1 Ville Skyttä 2005-10-09 14:53:10 UTC 
Do you have a URL of a document that can be used to reproduce this? 
  
By the way, w3schools is not the best resource regarding valid markup.  Search  
for "w3schools" at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator/ for more  
info.
Comment 2 Ville Skyttä 2005-10-09 14:57:44 UTC 
Also note that w3schools is not affiliated with the W3C in any way.

As explained in:
http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/special/iframe.html
the iframe element is only available in Transitional Doctypes.

See test cases:
http://qa-dev.w3.org/wmvs/HEAD/dev/tests/2329-html401-strict_iframe.html
http://qa-dev.w3.org/wmvs/HEAD/dev/tests/2329-html401-transitional_iframe.html
former not valid, latter is.
