Understand the DOCTYPE. Will go back and run some test cases where web pages have DTD's for each version. But if here is none listed, then I think the default is HTML 4.01. IF there is no DTD, then I would want the option to check for the different levels. -----Original Message----- From: w3c-wai-ig-request@w3.org [mailto:w3c-wai-ig-request@w3.org] On Behalf Of Kynn Bartlett Sent: Sunday, February 04, 2001 11:36 AM To: Robert Neff Cc: W3c-Wai-Ig Subject: Re: HTML validator At 09:48 AM 2/4/2001 , Robert Neff wrote: >It has been available to validate online to HTML 4.01 for some time.

I believe that it's simply a matter of using the correct DTD on the top of your page when you submit the URL to the validator. For example, an old page on Idyll Mountain Internet is the tinywar/tk mud client page -- if you go to the validator and type in http://www.idyllmtn.com/tinywar/, you'll see that you can correctly validate it to the 3.2 specification. Why? Because the DOCTYPE statement refers to HTML 3.2, not 4.0 or 4.01. --Kynn Kynn Bartlett Sr. Engineering Product Leader Team Edapta Reef North America Tel +1 909-674-5225 ___________________________________ BUSINESS IS DYNAMIC.
