VS doesn't tell you what the newer construct is, which is annoying. But here's a useful post to the asp.net forum.

What is the newer construct? id?

For 'name', yes, 'id' is the new one. Let me know if it worked.

Here's the problem though: In my asp.net 2.0 application, I reference a frame as a target by the <name> tag since it doesn't work when I use it's ID tag. Any advice on this one?
Thanks!

You wrote that the id tag doesn't work. If this is because of the way .Net renders the HTML tags, you might succeed by using ClientID.
Basically, the question is why the id doesn't work.

Is there a replacement for the outdated border attribute?

I found the answer by clicking "here's" at top of this webpage. Here's the answer:
border Newer Construct: Use the CSS property “border”.
