Gerald, et al, I have just two small suggestions... 1) When I validate a page using local Validator, the results page displays the W3C logo at the top and a hard-coded link back to the root of whatever system the Validator is installed on. I would suggest that the link actually go to whatever is defined in '$abs_svc_uri'; comparing to the published v1.61 of the source, line 198 reads: <a href="/">HTML Validation Service</a> Results</h1> Change this to: <a href="$abs_svc_uri">HTML Validation Service</a> Results</h1> Not everyone runs the validator in its own domain, or at the root of the domain (in my case, it's at http://localhost/validator/). 2) Line 68 refers to the $faqloc: my $faqloc = 'http://www.cs.duke.edu/~dsb/kgv-faq/'; It appears that this file no longer exists at this location? Perhaps including an error file in the 'htdocs' directory would be more appropriate at this point? I can forward to Gerald a copy of errors.html I made from the original $faqloc, if he likes. (Or, since I just did a rescan of the check script and saw that its use through $faqerrloc is commented out, you could ignore me!) FYI, I'm running the Validator on Win2000 Server, ActiveState Perl build 522, Apache 1.3.9, and I currently run the script with only 4 needed changes -- the 'shebang' now reads "#!d:/perl/bin/perl.exe, and I've changed $abs_svc_uri, $faqloc, and $element_ref (although only $abs_svc_uri is absolutely necessary). The caveat is that I had to use Björn Höhrmann's trick of putting CMD.EXE in my Validator's cgi-bin directory (see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator/2000JanMar/0025.html; and before someone screams about security issues, this validator is never exposed outside my home, it's strictly for personal use). So I also look forward to seeing anybody's suggestions for a workaround or possible solution...
