# Validation error using -highlander

 * Hello –
    This plugin works great, but am noticing w/WC3 validation, this error
   when I use the -highlander function
 *  “Attribute rel not allowed on element span at this point.”
 * This error is reported for every line with the -highlander in a ‘rel’, such as
   this:
    <span class=”collapseomatic ” id=”id2790″ rel=”home-highlander” title=”
   My Title”>My Title</span><div id=”target-id2790″ class=”collapseomatic_content“
   >
 * Is this saying that ‘rel’ can’t be used in a span – or it’s in the wrong place?
 * Thank you –
 * Jackie

 * span does not officially have a rel attribute. simply use tag=”div” so that the
   element uses divs instead of spans. problem solved.

 * HI, that should be a good answer but I changed the tag to SPAN and the lovely
   validator still choked on the presence of REL…
 * “Attribute rel not allowed on element span at this point.”
 * Any idea of this REL-Highlander can be changed to something like ‘id’ …?
 * thank you
