Element "frameset" is not supported from visual studio 2010

Question

I have a plain html file like this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
    <title></title>
</head>
    <frameset rows="*">
        <frame name="inner" src="inner.htm" />
    </frameset>
</html>

In visual studio 2010 I get warnings "(XHTML 1.0 Transitional): Element 'body' occurs too few times" and "(XHTML 1.0 Transitional): Element 'frameset' is not supported.". However the w3c validator says it is OK. Can someone point out what I am doing wrong?

Was it helpful?

Solution

If you get a warning saying "Validation (XHTML 1.0 Transitional)..." you are testing against XHTML Transitional instead of XHTML Frameset.

Solution: switch the target schema to XHTML Frameset.
When I do so, I get only a single warning: "Attribute 'name' is considered outdated. A newer construct is recommended."
