Hi, when trying to validate a wrong HTML 2.0 document (e.g. with an unmatched <a>), the validation passes, but on the bottom of the page (and you have to scroll to get it, so it's bad), you get the errors. Also, it suggests I should use WIDTH and HEIGHT tags for IMG, but if I add them, then it tells me it's not valid HTML 2.0 (so why suggest it in the first place) ? Those problems are new (well, since the last time I used the service, maybe 6 months or so). NB: I have always run in pedantic mode and with the weblint results. Without, maybe you don't see the errors and you validate incorrect code! Otherwise, thanks for your useful service. Reproduce by validating, e.g. http://www-internal.alphanet.ch/linux/, then modify the last IMG tag, removing the > and you will see it still validates.
