Thanks for replying.

I couldn't reproduce the error this morning, but believe I will be able to with
a bit of trying.  I did get a clue as to the nature of the problem when I did
try again this morning.

This combination did correctly detect an error in my code, since it used the
strict Doctype.  I discovered that I could ask for the transitional doctype and
all was well with my code.  This surprised me - I would have thought that with
"Validate HTML fragment" checked, the 1st "Use Doctype" field (with the drop
down list) would be ignored.

But this is the clue to help me reproduce the error - I'm sure I selected a
different Doctype.

It's a long weekend in Canada, so I'll play with this at home to reproduce the
error.  Please keep this one open until at least Tuesday.

Thanks!
