XHTML 1.0 error: multilinks-noscroll

I'm currently developing a website using XHTML 1.0 Transitional. Obviously I use CKEditor. When making an image a link (by inserting the image, selecting it then clicking the URL-button) I get the following error when validating it using W3C's online validator:

Validation Output: 1 Error

Error Line 78, Column 61: there is no attribute "multilinks-noscroll"

…se/?page=hudvard" multilinks-noscroll="true" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="…

Entire link: <a href="http://-removed-/?page=hudvard" multilinks-noscroll="true" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="-removed-" style="width: 140px; height: 205px;"></a>

Everything else checks out, including all content generated by CKeditor, but not this. Is it possible to disable something to prevent CKEditor from adding this tag?

It's quite important since I want the website to validate for XHTML 1.0 Transitional.

That's not generated by CKEditor. It's either something done by your browser, some extension or the CMS.
You can add a filter to CKEditor to filter that out, but the best solution seems to fix whatever is creating it in the first place.

Re: XHTML 1.0 error: multilinks-noscroll

It's weird because I haven't ever stumbled upon it before. Not until I tried making an image a link using CKEditor. I've created the CMS I use myself and I haven't added that anywhere, heck, I haven't even seen a tag called "multilinks-noscroll" before.

..what. I just removed the images, saved the page, added a different image, made it link to Google and now it validates just fine. I've been haunted by weird bugs ever since I started with webdeveloping. Yesterday when changing something in my CSS my menu turned pink all of a sudden, despite being set to #e8e3ce.

Checked in both Chrome and Firefox and it works just.. fine, for whatever reason. Anyway, thanks! It's working now and I have no idea what broke it in the first place, as usual with my websites.

Edit: I managed to replicate it. When not assigning any target then the mulitlinks-noscroll isn't there, but add target blank and poof, it's there.

Ok, but which browser do you use when it fails?

Oh but for the love of.. now it validates in Chrome & Firefox with an image-link with target="_blank", a few moments ago it didn't (of course I removed that image & now added another one; same image, same settings, same link, only this one validates). As I said, haunted by weird bugs. I honestly have no idea what's going on and now I strongly doubt it has anything to do with CKEditor so there's no point to this thread. Thanks for your help anyway!
