Hi WWW-Valiator Team ... I validated the following HTML: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <body> Hello </body> </html> which has a missing <head></head> section, and the following: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> </head> <body> Hello </body> </html> which has a missing <title></title> section. Unfortunately the hints provided by the validator for these two errors are very misleading; the first complains about missing <body> when it encounters </body> and the second about complains abiut missing <head> when it encounters </head>; in neither case is it mentioned that an entire attribute open/close pair might be missing. I would like to suggest that the hint texts are updated - as I spent quite a while experimenting to see why it wasn't seeing the opening tags (which it actually *was* seeing!), and would I guess it would be helpful to other people to avoid this head-scratching! Thanks in advance for considering this request, thanks for the great validator, and regards, Alexis Huxley ahuxley@gmx.netReceived on Monday, 9 August 2004 07:21:41 GMT
