Other types of inputs validate in the same place. The snippet validates in XHTML, and, AFAIK, contains no illegal or malformed attributes. Probably not relevant, but: OS: Windows 7 Browser: Firefox 5.0 51736 1 mike 2011-07-29 08:41:40 +0000 The error message is correct; the "value" attribute is not allowed on the input element when its type is "image": http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/number-state.html#image-button-state See the "Bookkeeping details" section -- in particular this part: "The element's value attribute must be omitted." 51935 2 andy719 2011-08-01 22:42:11 +0000 Thanks for clarifying; I was misinterpreting the error message. I think it's a little confusing, as attributes have values. Thus, I parsed it as "Attribute value not allowed on element 'input' at this point." instead of "Attribute 'value' not allowed on element 'input' at this point."
