That is a slightly contentious statement. But in any case, it's not the point. The W3C validator had, at some time in the past, told him his documents were valid, *AND* invited him to advertise the fact with the badge. Now it's pulled the rug from under his feet. Supposing he only found out when he presented his "standards-compliant" work to an important Client? Most embarassing! And his fault is that he *trusted* W3C. It also begs the question: "If I fix this, how do I know the same thing won't happen again, with reference to some other aspect of my sites?" -- Nick Kew Site Valet - the essential service for anyone with a website. <URL:http://valet.webthing.com/>
