Subject: 2 bugs in the W3 html validator service
Guys,
The first bug is that the new version of the validator
http://validator.w3.org/file-upload.html
gives a fatal error if it encounters a page with the following set of meta
tags:
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html">
<meta http-equiv="charset" content="iso-8859-1">
To get it to work, it demands that you either (a) eliminate the 2 meta tags
and thus foce it to guess the encoding or (b) combine both meta tags into 1,
like
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
This is annoying, as I have a ton of pages that validated with your old
validator, and which use the 2 meta tag form (which I think is clearer
anyway).
The second bug is that after you have gotten your validation results on the
page
http://validator.w3.org/check
if you then click on the Revalidate button, it does NOT revalidate --
instead, it takes me back to the home page
http://validator.w3.org/
A third item of feedback, which altho technically not a bug but is a very
bad feature, is that the textfield for doing CSS validation by file upload,
i.e.
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator-upload.html
is SOOO long that you can only see the Browse button to the right of it if
you have a very big window. It is trivial to fix this. (I believe that all
you need to do is change the attribute
size="60"
in the first input tag to something like
size="30"
)
