I would like to define a file which I can invoke via SSI <!-- #include virtual="..." --> from within various HTML pages to validate the CSS on that page. For most pages, the following href works: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/check/referer However, this approach fails when used on a page in a directory protected by a ..htaccess file. In particular, when the above href is invoked, the validator displays: I/O Error: Basic realm="Administrative Use Only" where the text in quotes is the AuthName text in the .htaccess file. Q. Is there a way I can define an href="" to solve this problem without explicitly naming the file to validate? I know about http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css2&warning=2&uri=http%3A//... but that requires naming the page to be validated which defeats the goal of using a common include file across many pages. Note that this href http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=referer works well for HTML validation in both contexts (with and without .htaccess protection). That is, in a .htaccess context, it prompts for a username and password and then validates the HTML content in the file. A similar statement for CSS validation http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/check?uri=referer fails as does http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css2&warning=2&uri=referer -- _______________________________________________________________ Bob Smith - bsmith@sudleyplace.com - http://www.sudleyplace.com a.k.a. bsmith@qualitas.com - http://www.qualitas.com
