Instead of the regular CSS report, the > screen prints, "Servlet has thrown exception: > javax.servlet.ServletException: Timed out." I can replicate this. However, on then editing the URL http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fbigbert.vfs.com%2F~dd08aaron%2Fwordpress%2F to read http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http://www.rhul.ac.uk/ I am told > W3C CSS Validator Results for http://www.rhul.ac.uk/ > No error or warning found > Congratulations! No Error Found. > Valid CSS! This document validates as CSS! This surely is a bad mis-representation of the facts. http://www.rhul.ac.uk/ is an HTML document, served with MIME (content-)type "text/html". It most certainly is /not/ "Valid CSS", even though it contains (and links to) instances that /are/ (intended to be) "Valid CSS". Surely the Jigsaw validator, when presented with an HTML document, should report "This document /contains/" (and/or "links to") "Valid CSS", should it not ? Philip Taylor
