So do I need to make sure that any file referenced by an ><iframe> is complete HTML that validates [...]? Well, that depends on what you mean by "should". :-) It would be very usefull for the Validator to follow links -- both to validate a whole site and to validate all components of a frameset -- but this isn't a function of SGML -- it's concept of compund documents is different -- so "should" in that sense isn't right. In either case, it's a great idea and I'll put it on the TODO. Thanks for your feedback on this.Received on Wednesday, 18 July 2001 05:18:46 UTC
