Dear MobileOK Team,
I recently found your validator and was curious what was necessary to validate a website for mobile devices with 100% so I started with the bare minimum of a webpage and validated it with your mobileOK checker and the w3 markup validator. This way I found that the mobileOK checker will require a <meta> tag to be closed with </meta> to get 100% while the w3 validator sees this as an error. If I remove the closing </meta> it validates in w3 but shows an error in mobileOK and the result goes down to 98%.
This is all the code I wrote and validated with direct input:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html lang="de">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8"></meta>
<title>this is title</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>this text</p>
</body>
</html>
I´m not sure if this is wanted behavior or not so I thought I´d let you know.
Yours sincerely
Hans Herzog
