'Attribute (v)link' errors after EPUB validation

[DiapDealer]

Pink means error; yellow means warning.

You may find that leaving target attributes in your <a> tags won't cause any issues, but if you're looking to publish somewhere where compliance is a prerequisite, you'll need to remove all "target='blahblahblah'" attributes/values from your links.

ex:

<a href="../Text/myhtml.html" target="_top" />

Hi DiapDealer, I was referring to the mentions in pink: attribute 'target' is not declared for element 'a'.
Well, I am a newbie and Dutch, don't know anything about attributes, targets, values, etc. It is Chinese for me (so I am now on the verge of throwing my e-book out of the window ).

I might want to publish it, but most importantly I don't want my e-book to have any errors or causing other problems when people read it.
I don't know what you mean with 'removing all "target='blahblahblah'" attributes/values from your links'?

Could you specify exactly which code in the example (printscreen) I have to remove or adjust?

It's not shown in your printscreen. There's apparently more of line 74 not being shown (where the link code occurs).

But quite simply put... if you look (in Code View) for target="something", you can safely remove target="something" (whatever "something" happens to be).

I think you're at a point where you're either going to need to accept the code that a WYSIWYG editor creates for you (errors, warnings, and all), or you're going to need to take the plunge and learn some html/css. Because if you don't know anything about html attributes/values/targets, you're severely hampering our ability to assist you (as willing as we are to try and do so ).

A quick reply, DiapDealer. When I search with 'target' I found target="_blank" in several sections. I removed the code and the error disappears.
Well, I know very little about it and the language difference doesn't make it easier for me.
But I do understand that it makes it more difficult for you all to help me, so thanks for the effort!

I understand the difficulty. Glad you were able to take care of that particular error.

If this is a one time thing for you, creating the ePUB I mean, I can do it for you I guess.

Nice of you, Toxaris, I'll send you a message.
