Is it a script that > calls the online validator.w3.org? I've had a look at the script (it's embedded in the tool, but the "original" perl script is still bundled). It's basically making a (LWP) request to the validator, asking for the XML output, and "translating" that back to some kind of HTML. XML output, hence no message explanations, hence Adriaan's comment: [[ >> but be aware that the warning messages from W3C may be cryptic. ]] - http://ecto.kung-foo.tv/archives/001445.php Too bad he chose not to just get the HTML output and display that, and instead chose to use the rather crippled, unstable and unsupported xml output, but that's understandable, he probably wanted HIS output without having to work with a real XSLT. I guess he could still benefit from the additional error message explanations by plugging share/templates/en_US/error_messages.cfg into his script somehow. I'll send him an e-mail. -- olivier
