Validator for XHTML Transitional 1.0, for iso-8859-1 is rejecting XHTML script due to "wrap=" tag within <textarea> statement. Actual script reads as follows: <textarea name="i_MESSAGE" id="i_MESSAGE" onkeypress="return taLimit(event)" onkeyup="return taBackspace(event)" rows="5" cols="40" wrap="physical"></textarea><br /> According to O'Reilly's Definitive Guide for HTML/XHTML, 5th edition, page 338, the "wrap" parameter is a valid tag within the <textarea> and should accept wrap="off", wrap="physical" and wrap="virtual" as valid parameters. However, the W3c Validator Error Message reads: Line 141, Column 143: there is no attribute "wrap". pace(event)" rows="5" cols="40" wrap="physical"></textarea><br /> Your clarification on this matter would be appreciated. Thank you. Ed DeFinis ed@dcawebdesign.com

This is incorrect information, there is no such attribute for textarea in XHTML 1.0 (nor any other W3C HTML recommendation if I remember correctly). http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/dtds.html
