Description arthur 2008-02-16 01:47:42 UTC 
I posted this question at experts-exchange and the consensus was that an error exists in the  w3c validator.


The error for the page states: Line 41, Column 136: there is no attribute "border".
yet in the HTML on that page, no such code exists.  

I posted this question at experts-exchange:  http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web_Development/Web_Languages-Standards/HTML/Q_23162117.html#a20895340

and the consensus is that there is an error in the validation process.  

If the error is indeed with me, I apologize for reporting this, I have tried desperately to remove this error, but have no idea how.  I assure you I did all I can to rule out any error with me, and am reporting this as a bug only as my last resort.

...Welcome to the ugly world of ASP.net, where your server produces different code for browsers and other user agents (including the validator).

See Bug #3734 and Bug #5061 for more on this bug.

Please complain to microsoft, not us.

I guess consensus can be wrong sometimes, even amongst "experts".
