Hi. I recently found this service, following a link for a validated site, and proceeded to use it to test a couple of sites. Microsoft's site, as expected through up a lot of errors, but more incredibly, the page served by the validator from this test itself was not valid! Try it. The URL I got from validating http://www.microsoft.com was: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.microsoft.com&weblint=&pw=&ss=&outline= and putting this into the validator returned a list of a fair few errors itself. Thus, how can you justify having the "Valid HTML 4.0!" logo at the bottom of the page? Please tell that there is something wrong with my reasoning, as I cannot believe that you would certify one of your own pages as HTML4 compliant when your own service says that it is not. If I am wrong, then I apoligise in advance, but if I am not, then what is going on here? Paul Cupis cupis@iname.com
