We ran the tool monthly and then documented the reason for any errors and sought (if possible) to fix the workflow system as well as the errors. We kept a record of this - see: http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/qa-focus/statistics/web-log-validator/ I now recommend this tool and approach to others. BTW the technique we use for checking HTML (and CCS compliance, & link checking) is the ,tools URI interface to testing tools which I first found (accindentally) on the W3C Web site - see http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/qa-focus/documents/briefings/briefing-59/ Brian --------------------------------------- Brian Kelly UK Web Focus UKOLN University of Bath BATH BA2 7AY Email: B.Kelly@ukoln.ac.uk Web: http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/ Phone: 01225 383943 FOAF: http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/ukoln/staff/b.kelly/foaf/bkelly-foaf.xrdf For info on FOAF see http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/ukoln/staff/b.kelly/foaf/
