I am validating my web-page and I get this error:
Error Line 190 column 49: an attribute value must be a literal unless it contains only name characters.
...52" height="45" onMouseOver=homeHover() onMouseOut=homelink() onClick="window...
How should I desgnate the value of the attribute to be a function? Should I use ""? ex: onMouseOver="homeHover()"
Everything works fine on the webpage, but while validating it, I get this error.

The reason your code isn't validating is because you didn't use quotation marks around your attribute values (e.g. onmouseover="homeHover()" )
also depending on which doctype you're using I think your attribute names need to be in all lowercase.

Yup, that guy is right. the reason why they require this " " is to show what the attribute value is. It is good programming practice so that when people read code, it is easy to understand.
