Hi,
I recently checked the validity, of a result page from your validation
test, and found it invalid..
ie. I validated one of my own pages, saved it as a file, then I decided
to check if the results page returned was infact valid itself, and, to
my great surprise, it wasn't.
Firstly, there was no character encoding specified, and secondly, the
following error was returned after specififying iso-8859-1 using the
extended interface:
This page is not Valid XHTML 1.0
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xhtml1-20000126/> Strict!
Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with an SGML
parser.
Line 142 <http://validator.w3.org/check#line-142>, column 9: end tag for
element "div" which is not open (explain...
<http://validator.w3.org/docs/errors.html#floating-close>).
</div><!-- End of "main" DIV. -->
The source code from that section is:
135: <p>
136: If you would like to create a link to <em>this</em> page (i.e., this
137: validation result) to make it easier to re-validate this page in the
138: future or to allow others to validate your page, the URI is
139: <<a href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fathene.riv.csu.edu.au%2F~lhunt07%2F">http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fathene.riv.csu.edu.au%2F~lhunt07%2F</a>> (or you can just add the
140: current page to your bookmarks or hotlist).</p>
141: </div> <!-- End of "meat". -->
142: </div><!-- End of "main" DIV. -->
143: <address>
I believe, although I only looked briefly, that the line simply needs
deleting from the source code. Other than that, it's a great service,
and I use it all the time.
Thanks
...Lachy!
