Hi there,
First, I am an amateur. Even worse I spent forty years as a computer
technologist, mainly teaching computer networking at the datagram
level, but never coding details. I am creating a website,
freedtochoose.com and, as a matter of personal discipline, am trying
to make it HTML 4.01 Transitional compliant.
In working on the page freedtochoose.com/site/about.html I used the
coding to display the CSS icon as given at
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Ffreedtochoose.com%2Fcss%2Ftext.css&profile=css21&usermedium=all&warning=1&lang=en
<h5>
<a href="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/check/referer">
<img style="border:0;width:88px;height:31px"
src="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/images/vcss"
alt="Valid CSS!" />
</a>
</h5>
and got a warning. When I deleted the final "/" the page passed.
This is probably a small deal for savvy HTML writers, but it got me.
The plus is that I am less defensive now and look forward to building
a fully compliant website.
All the best, Gordon Hill, Las Cruces, NM, USA
