Semi bug report Hello you guys in W3C Merry Christmas to all of you :) I'm not sure... but I choose to say I've found a "bug" in your validator Congratulations! -This document validates as <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/>CSS! -To show your readers that you've taken the care to create an interoperable Web page, you may -display this icon on any page that validates. Here is the HTML you could use to add this icon to your Web page: -If you like, you can download a copy of this image to keep in your local web directory, -and change the HTML fragment above to reference your local image rather than the one on this server. Well i found it rather hard to download a copy of the picture... Explanation follows... When I ran the HTML-validator I was given an option to download two pictures either GIF or PNG Although I had to right click and save the picture I was satisfied with the HTML-validator page I know that W3G encourage us to use content negotiation... Reference http://www.w 3.org/Provider/Style/URI#remove - If you are using, for example, Apache, you can set it up to do content negotiation. -You keep the file extension (such as .png) on the file (eg mydog.png), but refer to the web resource without it. According to this The validator page is perfectly alright... BUT my problem is that i can not download a picture when there is no extension IE55 give me the option to save the picture as BMP... I don't think that's Your intention :) Just to verify i tried with Ope ra too, then the result was either link to another page, or when i selected the save picture my option was "vcss" as filename... Who knows what extension or content type :) As I am a patient person, and that I try to figure out how to solve the problem I use the method of elimination: The link to the picture in the HTML-validator said http://www.w3.org/Icons/valid-html401.png and by changing this to http://www.w3.org/Icons/valid-css.png I was able to solve the problem. As a conclusion: I do n't find this a very big problem, but it is a problem anyway... :) As W3C or W3 is an Organization that's supposed to do "everything right" I'll leave it to you to decide what to do. I just wanted to Inform you. I would be happy to have a reply on this email. Viel Grüß Petter Arild Heitman Kiel Deutschland
