I'm not sure where the problem lies, but I use Opera 6.01 to validate my code using the "validate source" option on the context sensitive menu. Over the past couple of days I've noticed that the W3C Validator has been acting a little erratically. Quite frequently it has been returning the validation error: Error: illegal character number 0 Line 226, column 32: ¸ When it does this, the error gets repeated several dozen times only the column position changes incrementally. The next time I try to validate the same page (with no changes) the Validator may very well state that the page validates correctly. I'm not sure what the character '¸' is, and it is not in the source code. This has been happening across a wide range of web pages, and again it is a recent occurrence. I use the Validator constantly (especially when creating dynamic pages that are very problematic to get right when coding), and have never noticed this problem before. Quite frequently over the past two maybe three days I have been noticing frequent server configuration error pages coming from the W3C Validator as opposed to the normal validation results page. If I could be of any other assistance, I'd be more than happy to answer any questions that might help track this problem down. As the pages I'm currently working on are on an Intranet and unavailable to the public, I can not point anyone to an URL where the problem occurs.
